I recently downloaded OpenSSL 0.9.6, compiled and installed it. I had to use static libs because when passing the 'shared' option to 'config' it gets near the end of a 'make install', and says: ranlib: [lib name here]: File format not recognized Particulars: Slackware Linux system, kernel 2.2.16 gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) binutils 2.9.1 (ranlib, ar, etc.) (Need any more info?) Any idea what is going on? -- Geoff(rey) Wozniak University of Western Ontario Computer Science (Undergraduate) Department London, Ontario, Canada He who knows best knows how little he knows. -- Benjamin Franklin ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
