All these problems can be solved be judicious use of the --prefix argument to ./configure. The way I've done it is:
./configure --prefix=/usr <other options> This will put things in places where other programs can find them without special links, etc. Maybe /usr is not where you want to put it, but I think ssl counts as system software and thus belongs there. Besides, that's where slackware puts it anyways. On Mon, 10 Dec 2001, Myles Toomey wrote: > this was not me originally, but I has the same problem.
