openssl development libraries not found
 

hi,

I'm on F13 and I'm trying to compile a package from the source. The
package is delasa (www.dalesa.lk) and when I ./configure. I get
'configure: error: openssl development libraries not found'.
This is the output of 'yum search openssl | grep dev'

openssl-devel.i686 : Files for development of applications which will use
globus-gsi-openssl-error-devel.i686 : Globus Toolkit - Globus OpenSSL Error
globus-openssl-devel.i686 : Globus Toolkit - Openssl Library Development Files
globus-openssl-module-devel.i686 : Globus Toolkit - Globus OpenSSL Module
libpathfinder-openssl-devel.i686 : Pathfinder development libraries based on
xmlsec1-openssl-devel.i686 : OpenSSL crypto plugin for XML Security Library
tcltls-devel.i686 : Header files for the OpenSSL extension for Tcl
nss_compat_ossl-devel.i686 : Development libraries for nss_compat_ossl

and I've installed all the above listed packages and the error still remains.

and this is the latter part of config.log

configure: exit 1

Anyone to help to overcome this issue?

did you run
sudo ldconfig
? May help but I'm just guessing...

Thanks.
I tried it but the problem remains the same.

I'm on ubuntu and if I search for possible missing dependencies I find
libssl-dev
That's not in your list at least and may be worth a try...

Fedora : 'openssl-devel'.
@ j-ray : "libssl-dev" is Ubuntu / Debian only !


Dalesa : At least one bug : will not find uuid.h in a standard location.
Fedora 13 : ./configure
checking for EVP_MD_CTX_init in -lssl... no
configure: error: openssl development libraries not found
... I.e. looking for an object, not present in libssl.so .

Dalesa is tailored for Ubuntu / Debian, which have a different
openssl (0.9.8k), lots of special patching = 450 kB files added.
...

There is no solution for Fedora. Will compile OK on Ubuntu / Debian
with uuid headers linked to e.g. /usr/local/include/.
