All, Sorry, false alarm. Everything builds cleanly.
It turns out the libnasl configure script managed to locate an old version of 'libcrypto' which threw the wrench in the works. I'm completely perplexed by this though. I don't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, and not only isn't the bogus libcrypto in the ld.so cache, but the correct current one is! WTF !? Apparently 'configure' looks for libraries in non-standard places and this preempted the correct version. Seems to me that configure ought to have a default policy for picking the most current version given multiple instances of a library. Oh well. At least this didn't become a big research project. :-) Again, sorry for sounding the alarm prematurely. This might make a good FAQ addition though because based on the mail archive others seemed to have similar problems (old libraries). Peter Stein
