Hmm, first of all, why "no-idea, no-rc5"? You have better implementations on your system? I usually let OpenSSL be the provider of those algorithms.


Because idea and rc5 have patent issues ?


Heh, forgot about that one... Why does OpenSSL have those, in the first place? So, if someone HAS a licence to use the algorithm, OpenSSL will provide an implementation?

Secondly, well, I don't know about ZLib. I usually install a separate ZLib and let all others link to it dynamically. I'm not saying that ZLib coming with OpenSSL is broken, but it could be. Or it simply could be that it is a different version than the one you have system-wide and that there are some interoperability issues. Again, it should not be happening, but it is possible.


OpenSSL has no build in zlib, but uses a system provided version.


OK, I haven't been in OpenSSL package for a while, I remeber "no-zlib", "zlib" and "zlib-shared" options. I usually use the last one. That is what I was refering to.

Nix.
