i spent many hours trying to install that rpm (on redhat 7.2). IMHO, the person who made the rpm package had a version of the openssl rpm installed that registered the package "libcrypto.so" with the rpm database - this is no longer the case with the openssl rpm. therefore that person (or the software they used to create the rpm) assumed that this would be the case on all systems that had the openssl rpm installed. (tbh, i put it down to openssl changing the way they do things rather than a badly made rpm.)
i upgraded my openssl rpm to no effect. whats infuriating here is that libcrypto.so is actually installed in /usr/lib (presumably from the openssl install). and i couldnt get the --force --no-deps options to help either. of course, i could just be missing something really simple... my advice to redhat users is not to bother with the rpm (tbh, i never use rpms for actual services if i can help it) especially as the source compilation is quite straight forward for kannel and there are quite a few bug fixes in the daily snapshot. coming to think of it, i dont think that anyone on this list has mentioned that they've had a successful rpm install - did the binaries, etc actually install for you Daniel?
