[SOLVED] Install WGet 1.15

Sefid par · 08-27-2014, 02:26 PM

I need to test WGet 1.15, But Slackbuild says:

Code:

configure: error: --with-ssl=openssl was given, but SSL is not available.

Would you help me by compiling it?

Before you do anything, first make sure openssl isn't restricted from usage by Iranian laws. If it isn't restricted, then you can proceed safely, but if not, then you may need to edit the SlackBuild to not use --with-ssl flags.

Try running:

Code:

whereis openssl

first to see if it in installed. You should get this or similar:

Code:

openssl: /usr/bin/openssl /usr/X11R6/bin/openssl /usr/bin/X11/openssl /usr/X11/bin/openssl /usr/include/openssl /usr/man/man1/openssl.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/openssl.1.gz /usr/X11/man/man1/openssl.1.gz

If it's not installed and you did not perform a full (recommended) installation try running a Slackware update:

Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new

or

Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-all

and see if it's listed. If it's not listed you can always download and install it manually off the Optical Media or the Slackware FTP server.

Just tested the SlackBuild on -current. It bailed out with the same error, even though openssl is installed. But adding

Code:

--with-libssl-prefix=/usr/lib

to ./configure fixed it for me.

PS: On 64 bit it must be /usr/lib64, I think.
