Hi Andy, great: -Bsymbolic solved the problem!
I'll try to pass that information over to the apache httpd project, because that's useful for anyone who wants to build apache 2 with dynamic mod_ssl but with OpenSSL linked in statically. Thanks again! Regards, Rainer Jung > > We have a problem building apache 2.0.55 with OpenSSL 0.9.8a.
