[SOLVED] Openssl-devel libraries

p1ng54 · 05-05-2016, 12:12 AM

Hi, I am new to linux platform and I was trying to implement tls using openssl libraries. I downloaded the tar file and did

$./config threads
$make depend
$make
$make test
$make install

Now when I write a small c code with header included and I try compiling it with

$gcc -o server-tls server-tls.c

It returns FATAL error: <openssl/bio.h> no such file or directory

Welcome to LQ.

Fedora : # dnf install openssl-devel

Debian, Ubuntu : $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Most Linux distros install their libraries in two halves. libfoo will contain the actual binary code of the foo library; this is all you need to run programs that use foo. To compile such programs from source, you also need the library headers, which come in a package called libfoo-dev (Debian family) or libfoo-devel (Fedora family). libfoo is often installed by default; libfoo-dev is not.
