Error compiling gimp-print -- not finding libssl


Hello, I'm getting this error when trying to compile gimp-print-4.3.25:

ld: cannot find -lssl

I've got openssl-0.9.7d installed. In /usr/local/ssl/lib I have:

libssl.a
libssl.so -> libssl.so.0
libssl.so.0 -> libssl.so.0.9.7
libssl.so.0.9.7

I have /usr/local/ssl/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, and have run /sbin/ldconfig.

I have /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig in my PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

What am I missing here? I'm on a Slackware 9.1 system with a 2.4.22 kernel.

Thanks,

Joe

I'm not sure this will help, but it may. Try setting
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib"
before you configure gimp-print. It's worth persevering with, Gimp-print is (in my opinion) very good.

Yay! That worked. What I don't understand is why it was necessary...

Thanks!
