OpenSSH and Solaris with 0.9.6x openssl

[Scott Burch]

Hello,

I have tried to install openssh 2.9p2 on Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 2.8
after compiling the openssl (both 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b) and openssh
software with both gcc 2.95.3, Sun's Forte compiler, Sun's linker, etc.
I have tried the zlib from Sun freeware and version 11.8.0
REV=2000.01.08.18.12 contained in the SUNWzlib package. Both openssh and
openssl appear to make properly and all the tests for openssl pass. When
I do a make install for openssh it fails to generate public/private dsa
keys..in fact ssh_keygen has a bus error when trying to do DSA
operations. I know other people have had this problem, because I've seen
similar messages in the mailing list. Unfortunately it appears that
noone has a solution...at least I can't find an answer. What I am
wondering is if anyone can get openssh to work on Solaris with the
0.9.6x openssl libraries. Maybe I'm missing someone, but everything
seems to work fine with the 0.9.5x openssl libraries. It appears to me
that something broke after the 0.9.5x libraries. I'm not sure if openssl
is the problem. If this problem has been resolved then please enlighten
me, otherwise I can provide more details to help resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Scott
