I hope this is the correct forum...I looked in Documentation and FAQ and couldn't find the answer to this question... I "config shared ..." openssl 0.9.6a on a LinuxPPC system but "make install" didn't create shared libraries. So I cd'd to the target directory and "gcc -shared libcrypt.a -o libcrypt.so.0.9.6a" (repeated for libssl), "ln -s" the .so.0.9.6a libs with *.so and *.so.0. Before doing the manual shared library creation scp (from openssh 2.5.2p2) from another system had gotten a "can't find shared library libcrypto.so.0"; afterwards it seemed to work properly (i.e., it copied the files). Did I do the right thing? The shared libraries are much smaller than the .a ones. Should the "config shared ..." have created the shared libraries? Is there something about the config mis-detecting LinuxPPC systems as not being capable of supporting shared libraries? Prior to this openssh had worked properly with openssl 0.9.5, but I guess the LinuxPPC distribution may have erroneously created experimental shared libraries, but I'm willing to experiment with openssl shared libraries if I could get them to compile/link properly.
