Hi, Well, OK. No one seems to have been complaining about this issue or mentioning the "Error loading interface lanplus" error message for some time on this list, but I thought I'd add my $.02 to this thread in case it might be of some help in the future. (Hopefully I'm not overcharging. :-}
Anyway, I've noticed that, when compiling ipmitool on some particular distros, there seems to be a missing symbolic link for the libcrypto.so library even when openssl appears to be properly installed. In these cases, the libcrypto.so library is available named only as libcrypto.so.X.Y.Z, etc. whereas ipmitool (and several other applications) expect to find it named in the libcrypto.so (or for some apps, libcrypto.so.X) form. You can determine if this is the lanplus interface creation problem you're having by inspecting your ipmitool config.log after running ./configure and searching for "-lcrypto". A failure to find libcrypto.so during configuration and the resultant error messages will be evident. A quick way to fix this is to create your own symbolic link to the library. First, make sure you have the openssl libraries installed: # ls -a /usr/lib/*libcrypto* /lib/*libcrypto* If you don't have a plain libcrypto.so listed in either directory (but you do have one or more libcrypto.so.X.Y.Z libraries listed), and your ./configure of ipmitool shows the lanplus interface isn't supported, try creating a libcrypto.so symbolic link to your latest libcrypto.so.X.Y.Z in /usr/lib (or /lib depending on your distro) and see if that fixes your lanplus interface woes for you when you're building ipmitool. Ex. # ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.X.Y.Z /usr/lib/libcrypto.so (Of course if you don't have any libcrypto.so* libraries at all, you need to start by downloading and installing the openssl libraries.:-} Hope this helps. Good luck! :) Carol P.S. Just in case anyone's wondering, libcrypt and libcrypto are *not* the same thing. On Wed, 2007-08-01 at 15:50 -0700, David A.
