Apache Problems
 

I'm having some really weird problems with apache, and was hoping somebody here could help me...

If I start the apache service, the service quites as soon as the first request comes in (the process just dies). If I run it from the command like ('httpd -X') it runs for about 5 seconds then quits. I managed to attach the debugger (gdb) to it before it quit one time, and then continued the program to see what was up, this is what I got...

(Loading of Symbols (About 9 pages worth))
0x400a4b34 in bn_sqr_comba8 () from /lib/libcrypto.so.4
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program exited normally.
Segmentation fault

And I was dropped back to my shell. It appears (to me at least) that it was GDB that seg faulted, kind of a bad sign when even my debugger get's killed...

I'm guessing this was my fault... this all started right after I updated\installed berkely db, libnet, libpcap, and (this is probably the one), openssl. (for dsniff)

Did I manage to get this royally screwed or what?

Any help at all is appreciated.

It sounds like a problem with ssl right enough. Try recompiling apache with the new version of ssl. There is a good tutorial here:
