NetBSD 3.0.0_STABLE i386
>Description:
If the shared ssl libraries are installed, the configure script
completes and the build is successful. However, if only the static libraries
are installed (the default for OpenSSL), the configure script fails with:
checking for X509_new in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_new in -lssl... no
configure: error: Unable to find SSL library
It's strange that the -lcrypto test works while the -lssl test fails since
they are both from the exact same intallation of OpenSSL 0.9.8b. If the
"else" clause at lines 12580-12583 of the configure script is simply
replaced with one line "ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_new=yes" the configure script
seems to finish successfully, so perhaps the problem is only the test?
>How-To-Repeat:
run ./configure with --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl with only the
static libraries installed (default for OpenSSL 0.9.8b. (There is no problem
if shared libraries are installed.)
