SSL certificate for package exim does not recognize local openssl
 
Hi,

I installed openSSL from source in /usr/local/ssl/ and now installed the debian exim4 related packages for my mail server. I tried to generate a certificate for the mailserver but it doesn't recognize my local installation of openSSL (since it's not shared libraries, I suppose?)

Code:

$ /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert: openssl is not installed, exiting

Can anybody tell me how to tell this shell script where openssl is located?

that's the shell script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e

if [ -n "$EX4DEBUG" ]; then
  echo "now debugging $0 $@"
  set -x
fi

DIR=/etc/exim4
CERT=$DIR/exim.crt
KEY=$DIR/exim.key

# This exim binary was built with GnuTLS which does not support dhparams
# from a file. See /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz
#DH=$DIR/exim.dhparam

if ! which openssl > /dev/null ;then
        echo "$0: openssl is not installed, exiting" 1>&2
        exit 1
fi

# valid for three years
DAYS=1095

if [ "$1" != "--force" ] && [ -f $CERT ] && [ -f $KEY ]; then
  echo "[*] $CERT and $KEY exists!"
  echo "    Use \"$0 --force\" to force generation!"
  exit 0
fi

if [ "$1" = "--force" ]; then
  shift
fi
