Hi, Here's the text I came up with: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenSSL Shared Libraries have been installed in: [directory name]
If this directory is not in a standard system path for dynamic/shared libraries, then you will have problems linking and executing applications that use OpenSSL libraries UNLESS: * you link with static (archive) libraries. If you are truly paranoid about security, you should use static libraries. * you define the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or SHLIB_PATH (HP) environment variable and add [directory name] to it, and use the -L linker option. * you use the GNU libtool code during linking (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html) * you specify the the system-wide link path via a command such as crle(1) on Solaris systems. One common tool to check the dynamic dependencies of an executable or dynamic library is ldd(1) on most UNIX systems. See any operating system documentation and manpages about shared libraries for your version of UNIX. The following manpages may be helpful: ld(1), ld.so(1), ld.so.1(1) [Solaris], dld.sl(1) [HP], ldd(1), crle(1) [Solaris], pldd(1) [Solaris]. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I looked at the Makefile to see where it might go. "make install" invokes "make link-shared" near the end of the install process. The text could be printed at that point. A really good way to do this would be to have the text above broken into two pieces, one generic for all UNIX, and one specific to the OS. The specific piece could be printed out perhaps when the Makefile do_$(SHLIB_TARGET) target is invoked. That way the quirks of dynamic loading on Solaris, HP, Linux, could be explained and the correct manpages referenced. --- Jeff On Wed, 1 Jan 2003, Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker via RT wrote: > Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2003 14:58:09 +0100 (MET) > From: Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker via RT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [openssl.org #423] openssl-0.9.7-stable-SNAP-20021229: ldd > problems > > > In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Wed, 1 Jan 2003 13:36:23 >+0100 (MET), "Jeff A.
