Hello, I am having an issue that I just can't get past

I am trying to compile squid with ssl suppot using openssl.

The openssl executeable on my system is located at:

/usr/bin/openssl

The includes are located at

/usr/include/openssl

the 2 configure options I use are --includedir=/usr/include/openssl and
--with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl

when I run make afterwards I get an error that the openssl headers could not be found.

I can unclkude the actual error text if neccessary. But I am wondering what path's Ishould put in my configure to get it to find openssl properley.

Since these are fairly standard locations, what happens
if you just
./configure --with-openssl
without any extra paths? If that doesn't work, try just giving
ssl's prefix (no include)
./configure --with-openssl=/usr


Cheers,
Tink

I get the same error:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I, -I, -I../include -I../include -I../include -I/usr/include -g -02 -Wall -c `test -f rfc2617.c || echo './'`rfc2617.c
In file included from rfc2617.c:52:
../include/md5.h:18:2: #error Cannot find OpenSSL headers

Then it gives some other md5 related errors......


I notice this part of the statement changes based on my --with-openssl=
gcc -DHAVE................. -I/usr/include
if I put --with-openssl=/usr/include/openssl
The line above becomes:
-I/usr/include/openssl/include

if I put --with-openssl=/foo
The line becomes -I/fo/include

so it is alway adding include to the end of the path for some reason.....I think that's what the problem is anyways.....but I can't figure out how to fix it

I fixed it, I should have tried this first.
In between each attempt, I was running make clean.
I decided just to deete the squid directory and extract it from the tarball again, ran configure with just --enable-ssl and it worked like a charm....I gues my source tree was foobar. Thanks for your help....

hi there... i also have a question about compiling squid... i posted it a few days ago but i've had no luck getting a reply, and i was wondering if perhaps you guys could help me... i think you guys know a lot about this... basically, i'm just trying to find-out how to compile squid on slackware 9.1 using the compiler from slackware 8.1... here's the thread i started:
