hi Nicholas,
i too just waded through my first qmail-toaster install and, in my case,
and openssl did not work, on the first try, for me either.
i was installing on a stock RedHat 7.2 box (from Rackspace) and, as Bill
mentions in the "Prerequisites" section, of the toaster docs:
If you are using an rpm based distro, an easy way to check
[for ssl] is to issue these commands:
rpm -q openssl
rpm -q openssl-devel
i'm not familiar with Cobalt, but in my case the system had openssl
installed, but not openssl-devel, so i went to rpmfind.net to get
binaries. although i found rpm's for openssl version 0.97b, these would
not install on this (older) RH 7.2 system, so i downgraded to
openssl-0.9.6b-30.7 (and openssl-devel-0.9.6b-30.7). these installed
just fine, and the rest, as they say, was as easy as toast.
hth,
