We encountered the same problem here when loading OpenSSL-based modules under iPlanet or the Netscape browser. Our solution was to add macros to the OpenSSL includes to "remap" the offending symbols to avoid conflicts. We also added placeholders for the old function names that called the remapped functions to ensure that our library binaries were still binary and source-compatible with unmodified OpenSSL libraries. > thanks for your help...
