am having an issues installing Bind 9.2.1 on a machine with SSL
support!



If I configure with:
--with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl



I get the Error:

checking for OpenSSL library... using openssl from
/usr/bin/openssl/lib and /usr/bin/openssl/include

checking OpenSSL library version... not compatible

configure: error: you need OpenSSL 0.9.5a or newer



However the output from my OpenSSL is:

/usr/bin/openssl

OpenSSL> version

OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001



I have read on a lot of newsgroups that I am not alone with this
issue. I haven't seen a resolution as of yet though!


I assume from what I have read thus far that it is corrected with
ldconfig (or is a problem with ldconfig). However being yet another
Linux/Unix Newbee I don't know what I need to do to repair it?



Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!



Sincerely,

Vince

try to add the path /usr/bin/openssl in ld.so.config in /etc directory

If you are using a RPM based distro- Red Hat, SuSE, etc make sure you
install the development packages (openssl-devel-xxx.rpm). You need those
'-devel' packages to compile stuff that uses them.
Otherwise... ?
