well basically i was trying to install a perl module (Net::SSLeay) to use with webmin. it wont compile it because the installed version of ssl isnt a recent enough version.
so i went to the openssl page and found the following in their FAQ. -8. What is special about OpenSSL on Redhat? -Red Hat Linux (release 7.0 and later) include a preinstalled limited -version of OpenSSL. For patent reasons, support for IDEA, RC5 -and MDC2 is disabled in this version. The same may apply to other -Linux distributions. Users may therefore wish to install more or all of -the features left out. - -To do this you MUST ensure that you do not overwrite the openssl that -is in /usr/bin on your Red Hat machine. Several packages depend on -this file, including sendmail and ssh. /usr/local/bin is a good -alternative choice. The libraries that come with Red Hat 7.0 onwards -have different names and so are not affected. (eg For Red Hat 7.2 -they are /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b and /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b -with symlinks /lib/libssl.so.2 and /lib/libcrypto.so.2 respectively). - -Please note that we have been advised by Red Hat attempting to recompile -the openssl rpm with all the cryptography enabled will not work. All -other packages depend on the original Red Hat supplied openssl package. -It is also worth noting that due to the way Red Hat supplies its -packages, updates to openssl on each distribution never change the -package version, only the build number. For example, on Red Hat 7.1, -the latest openssl package has version number 0.9.6 and build number 9 -even though it contains all the relevant updates in packages up to -and including 0.9.6b. - -A possible way around this is to persuade Red Hat to produce a -non-US version of Red Hat Linux. - so basically i was hoping that there was some kinda work around. or anything that i can do....i sure hope thanks for any help -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Javier Gostling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 24 Dec 2002 13:08:46 -0300 Subject: Re: openSSH question All headers > On Tue, Dec 24, 2002 at 11:02:31AM -0500, cblamer2003 wrote: > > > quick question, is there a way i can install the newest openssh tarball, > > without messing up anything. > > > > i read somewhere that installing it will break just about everything in > > readhat, openssl, apache(ssl plugin maybe), and other stuff.
