I've now managed a build of openssl 0.9.6g on RedHat 8.0 now, much to my surprise.
First of all, make sure you have these RPMs installed (from the RedHat 8.0 CD 1): binutils-2.13.90.0.2-2 gcc-3.2-7 glibc-devel-2.2.93-5 glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20 (this used to be called kernel-headers pre version 7.3) I'm running the latest kernel, 2.4.18-17.8.0. I used the following as a non root user: ./config shared to install everything into /usr/local/ssl, including the shared libraries. "make" and "make test" completed without errors, so I su'ed to root and ran "make install". To show that it is installed, I used: [openssl-0.9.6g]# openssl OpenSSL> version OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001 OpenSSL> exit [openssl-0.9.6g]# cd /usr/local/ssl/bin [bin]# ./ c_rehash openssl [root@becketts bin]# ./openssl OpenSSL> version OpenSSL 0.9.6g 9 Aug 2002 OpenSSL> exit You'll note that the first version is what comes with RedHat 8.0, the second version is what goes in /usr/local/ssl. To check I haven't stuffed up the currently installed version "rpm -V openssl" returns no results, so no files within the packages have changed. (I really like rpm -V, it helps me to check whether anything has been tampered with). I hope that helps. - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] If we could learn one thing from September 11th 2001, it would be the utter absurdity of moral relativism. > -----Original Message----- > From: Inman, David [mailto:David.Inman@;siemens.com] > Sent: 31 October 2002 14:37 > To: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Subject: Building 0.9.6g --RH8.0 > > > I am trying to build openssl-0.9.6g on a RedHat 8.0 system. > When I run make > test everything pass but when I run a make install it does > not install the > binaries into /usr/local/openssl (where I told it with > config).
