Thank you all again for your valuable information. I have been working with our system administrators on the point of running make install with sudo privileges, they are recalcitrant in allowing me to put software into the machine that I cannot give them exact instructions on how to build on their own and install, and as you know it is not that straightforward =) and I am also not used to that kind of restriction. In the meantime, I will attempt use Rajan's script to get around the object mode problem. Once I know that works, then I will be able to re-do the install and build with the root privileges. An interesting side question - if the machine has the openssl and openssl-dev AIX RPM packages installed, would this represent any conflict when trying to use the SSH installation once I have built my own openssl and installed it?
Regards, Jeremy R.
