Fwd: Re: Question on undefined reference to 'crypt'

[Amba giri]

Hello

Thanks for your response.  The platform is lynxos.  However when I add --with-ldflags=-lcrypt

I get the following error:

WS5000# ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local --with-ldflags=-lcrypt

configure: error: *** compiler cannot create working executables, check config.log ***

I have attached the config.log file.  Basically the 'crypt' library is not being found. I did not have this problem until I rebuilt Openssl-0.9.7d.

Depends on what platform you're using, most likely you just need to add 
"--with-ldflags=-lcrypt" to you configure line.

If that fixes it, tell us what your platform is and what ./config.guess 
reports and we can make configure do it automatically.

You might like to use 3.8.1p1 rather than 3.8p1, it's newer and 
(probably :-) has a few less bugs.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
