configure "missing OpenSSL" solution

[Auntie Mangos]

Actually ...

• * All those steps should be already done by "autoreconf", no need to perform them manually
  * I have no problem building mangos on Debian testing (squeeze) 64bit with regular steps
  * True, the problem can appear on older systems
  

The correct solution for older systems is to install a newer OpenSSL libraries. Removing the check or going around it can lead to API errors, broken compiles, and other (even nasty) things.

Come on, typing one line of wget followed by one line of dpkg isn't that hard.

Hello,

I had a little problem with OpenSSL with latest mangos revisions on a Debian 64bits system.

Here is a solution :

autoreconf --install --force
[color="red"]aclocal -I m4[/color] <- include m4 repertory fixes the issue with openSSL
autoheader
autoconf
automake --add-missing
automake src/bindings/ScriptDev2/Makefile

hope that helps.

There aren't any version of OpenSSL recent enough on those links.

I tried downloading the latest version on their website, and compiled it in my home directory. I then used the --with-openssl option to specify the good folder.

It didn't work.

Maybe I did something wrong though but the only working solution for me was the one above.

(and sorry for my english)

hey manokha

when you become a OpenSSL error just install openSSL as normal.

Then reconfigure the source. When the error pops again, install the devel for ssl.

Thats fix you problem.

apt-get install libssl-dev

and sorry for my very pure english!!!
