openssl not getting built

[Hal Fulton]

I'm building the July 20 snapshot on Fedora 1.

openssl isn't getting built apparently.

extconf reports:

I'm probably being dense here. What's going on?

Where is your ssl.h located? Mine's at /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h ... Is
yours somewhere nonstandard?

That's just it -- it doesn't seem to be *anywhere*. And yet it would seem
that I've built this in the past, as I have old openssl.so files on my
machine.

Duh??

if you use something evil, like rpms, you can easily have *.so files but not
headers...

tar.gz is my mantra.

OK, but the ones I have are all under ruby directories... I'm pretty sure
I've never installed Ruby via rpm.

Where does ssl.h come from in the first place? Is there something outside
the Ruby world I don't have installed?

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but you indicated in your original post
that you tried:

$ find /usr -name ssl.h 2>/dev/null | grep ruby | xargs ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x 3 hal hal 4096 Jul 20 14:02 .

Perhaps I'm being dense, but why were you grepping for ruby?

Ah, sorry Hal. That answers the question in my last email. I thought you
knew where ssl.h came from.

It comes from the OpenSSL library (http://www.openssl.org). You probably
already have it installed--just rerun your find without the grep for
ruby and see if it turns up.

ssl.h should come from the openssl install. however, if you installed a linux
distro and didn't explicitly ask for headers (or devel, or whatever for that
distro) you may or may not have installed headers. the defaults (for redhat
at least) seems to be to NOT also install header files with packages. this
really anoys me. the only solution is probably to

- use rpms or similar to (re)install opensll (or is it openssh?) but ONLY if
it also manages to install header files

- install opensll from the tar ball - this will certainly install the
headers

another alternative is to simply download the tar ball of the EXACT same
version of opensll you have installed and configure jamis' package to look
there for it's header files. after it's built you can delete it.

make sense?

or

$ locate ssl.h

sounds like jamis hit the nail on the head with the other post - you probably
do have it installed.

The grep for ruby was just a dumb mistake of course.

I don't see ssl.h *anywhere* at all.

However, I *thought* that I had it installed, for two reasons:
1. I can use ssh and scp. Don't they depend on openssl? Or is
there a lib distro without headers (rpm I guess)?
2. And yet I have old openssl.so files which I believed came from
building ruby; which would mean I'd have to have an ssl.h.

*sigh*

I guess I'll just grab it off the web and build it...

ok. i meant installing openssl via rpms.

I guess I assumed that if it was under the ruby tree, it didn't come directly
from an openssl install.

version of opensll you have installed and configure jamis' package to look
there for it's header files. after it's built you can delete it.

That seems a bit ugly, I'll just do it the "right" way. :/


Thanks * 10**6,

I think you might need to install the openssl-devel RPM:

[tom@hal tom]$ rpm -qil openssl-devel | grep "ssl\.h"
/usr/include/openssl/ssl.h
[tom@hal tom]$

Well, yeah -- you don't need to have the headers installed for
runtime. Presumably you are using a binary (rpm) version of
ssh? Also, it appears as though openssh doesn't link against
openssl anyway.

$ ldd /usr/bin/openssl
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x40027000)

2. And yet I have old openssl.so files which I believed came from
building ruby; which would mean I'd have to have an ssl.h.

Yeah, and you haven't removed the openssl-devel package, etc?

I'd recommend just installing the RH openssl-devel package. Of
course, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is, since I've
been using Debian for a long time.

Personally, I think splitting a package up into runtime/dev is a
good thing, since it reduces clutter and more easily lets you
have two versions of the same library installed.

Interesting, I somehow thought it did. Add that to the list of
things I've learned this afternoon.

That makes sense.

reduces clutter???

we are talking about the same RedHat, right?
