------------------------------------------
Summary: Improve Openssl library finding on RedHat system
Key: HADOOP-12845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12845
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.7.2
Reporter: Sebastien Barrier
Priority: Minor
The issue is related to [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11216].
In the BUILDING.txt it's specified "Use -Drequire.openssl to fail the build if
libcrypto.so is not found".
On RedHat system (Fedora/Centos/...) the /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so is a link
provided by openssl-devel RPM package which is fine on a build/development
host, but devel packages are not supposed to be installed on Production
servers (Hadoop Cluster) and the openssl RPM package don't include that link
which is a problem.
# hadoop checknative -a
...
openssl: false Cannot load libcrypto.so (libcrypto.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory)!
There's only /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10 but no /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so
Also trying to compile with "-Drequire.openssl
-Dopenssl.lib=/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10" failed.
