Re: Compiled latest version 0.9.8a but still can't get sha-256 hash working

[Carl Youngblood]

My bad.  I typed 'openssl help' and didn't see sha256 listed under any of the digest commands.  That is probably an old menu that hasn't been updated yet.  Now that I used your syntax I got the same result.  Thanks for the help!

How *exactly* did you compile from source, under what OS, and what *exact*
test did you do that shows it's not working?

Here,

$ echo -n "abc" | /usr/linnet/0.HEAD/bin/openssl dgst -sha256
ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad
$ /usr/linnet/0.HEAD/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
$

This is under FreeBSD 5.4. openssl was compiled from source using more or
less default settings. More precisely,

  LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/linnet/0.HEAD/lib; export LD_RUN_PATH
  ./config --prefix=/usr/linnet/0.HEAD --openssldir=/etc/linnet/0.HEAD/openssl no-idea shared
  make
  make test
  sudo make install

Note the LD_RUN_PATH. This ensures that the 'openssl' binary knows where to
find the correct openssl libraries, and doesn't end up picking up some
random libssl.so.* found elsewhere on the system.
