I don't think I can help you on this one. I don't have Solaris so I don't
know about it's special properties.

(My HP-UX systems have the property to hard code shared library paths into
the executables. While most people are annoyed it can be of advantage in some
situations :-)

I have another idea to offer:
http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html
I was annoyed by some properties of EGD (especially it is a resource hog
as it needs PERL, today I am sitting at another place, in front of a
HP 9000/710 (1992, 48MB RAM, approx equivalent to a 66MHz Pentium), and
I can tell you: it makes a difference :-), so I wrote a very small and
handy replacement for EGD. You might give it a try.
Best regards,
Lutz
PS. In any case your analysis of the problem did help very much. By now we
know what the reason for the mod_ssl failure is and that it is not related
to mod_ssl or your mod_ssl configuration. You can now either replace EGD
with PRNGD or try to track down your PERL startup problem.
On HP-UX I can "chatr /usr/local/bin/perl" and it will tell me which
shared libraries it uses and where they should be located. On Linux (and Sun?)
the command is ldd. There is also a command to have the dynamic loader
recheck the library paths (ldconfig -a?) on Linux, don't ask me for Sun...
