configure problem --- Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto

[Santanu Misra]

Hello Gurus,

I tried my best as I can to do RTFM and Googling to find any information to
solve the problem myself which I failed.

I installed OpenSSL 0.9.6d 9 May 2002 with this option on a Solaris 8 box
using Sun Forte6-2 

$config solaris64-sparcv9-cc --prefix=/local/santanu/pkg/ssl

Now I am trying to install openssh 3.2.3p1 and getting this error.

configure:8285: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see
config.log for details) ***


I tried 

./configure --with-ssl-dir=/local/santanu/pkg/ssl and 
./configure --with-ssl-dir=/local/santanu/pkg/ssl/lib
and then I tried to export LIBRARY_PATH as some one mentioned in the mailing
list. No luck yet.

configure:8285: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see
config.log for details) ***

I am not a programmer but after looking details in config.log I found it is
giving this error when it looks for symbol 'RAND_add'. But when I do nm on
libcrypto I get like this.

/local/santanu/pkg/ssl/lib> nm libcrypto.a | grep -i RAND_add

[96]    |             0|           0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |RAND_add


Any help will be great. But PLEASE think and read twice my mail before U
mention to do RTFM for me.


-Thanks in advance,

Santanu
