Re: Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE

Re: Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE
Hi Colin, Thanks for your reply. What makes you think that the crypto code is missing? When I try to install www/apache20 from ports, I get this error: Dependency error: this port requires the OpenSSL library, which is part of the FreeBSD crypto distribution but not installed on your machine. Please see the OpenSSL section in the handbook (at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssl.html;, for instance) for instructions on how to obtain and install the FreeBSD OpenSSL distribution. *** Error code 1 I presume that since OpenSSL isn't installed, the crypto dist would be missing too? What's the best way to verify that? I removed the IDS option because I didn't think anyone used it. Since then I have heard from lots of people who used it, so I'm going to add the IDS option back soon. :-) Great news :-) Many thanks for your help, Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, I've been using freebsd-update for some time now and it's been fantastic.
