Hi, i am trying to install bind9, using the rpm method on a red hat 9 linux machine. I get the following error when performing 'rpm -ivh bind-*':

warning: bind-9.1.3-2.dag.rh62.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.0 is needed by bind-9.1.3-2.dag.rh62
libcrypto.so.0 is needed by bind-utils-9.1.3-2.dag.rh62

Of course, the manual does not say that this is needed, and i haven't found any docs on how to obtain that library. I read and researched a lot and found out the ti comes with something called openssl, so i downloaded that rmp and installed it, but i get the same dependency fail error.

I started to look for the file and got the following results:
]# whereis libcrypto
libcrypto: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/libcrypto.a

How do i make bind know that libcrypto is there???

Thanks for the help.

You need also openssl-devel package. Perhaps you have to runafter installing the library packages.

You also should install something resembling current software. BIND 9.1.3 is ancient, and insecure. The latest BIND is 9.4, and most distros still are on 9.3.3 or 9.3.4. BIND also keeps the 8.4 branch active, but all the real development happens in BIND 9.X.

I see you're running DeadRat 9. That is a major mistake. It was a garbage distro when it came out in 2003, and it certainly hasn't improved since then. Get yourself a current distro. You have Slack and BSD in your profile, yet you're asking a question about DeadRat 9? No man, get a current setup. Half of the problem is probably coming from a mismatched versions. BIND 9.1.3 is also from 2003, (see http://archives.neohapsis.com/archiv...3/subject.html ), but if your DeadRat was ever updated, it probably has a newer version of the openssl files, or none at all.

You may want to check out many of the results of this google search if you still think old BIND on old DeadRat is ok -
