We're getting following errors(checking OpenSSL header version... not found configure: error: OpenSSL version header not found.) when we install openSSH in Solaris 2.8. dbtest-root:/opt/openssh-3.6p1 #./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: checking for setutent... yes checking for utmpname... yes checking for endutxent... yes checking for getutxent... yes checking for getutxid... yes checking for getutxline... yes checking for pututxline... yes checking for setutxent... yes checking for utmpxname... yes checking for daemon... no checking for daemon in -lbsd... no checking for getpagesize... yes checking whether snprintf correctly terminates long strings... yes checking whether getpgrp requires zero arguments... yes checking OpenSSL header version... not found configure: error: OpenSSL version header not found. We have prngd & EGD installed in this box. Also we have configured openSSL without any errors... Please help...
Check to see if you have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. If so unset it and try again. Also try without the --with-dir-ssl=. If either/both work.. Please mark it as a dup of bug #601. - Ben
> ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl As the correct configure option is --with-ssl-dir: did you really specify --with-dir-ssl, or is that a typo in the bug report only?
Please re-open if you can reproduce with --with-dir-ssl.
Whoops, make that --with-ssl-dir.
To solve this problem on Solaris7 for x86 we used the following options to configure: /configure --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-ldflags="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" --with-cppflags="-I/usr/local/ssl/include”
