compiling on an older system (Centos 6)

[Stan Dickerson]

I tried these suggestions

./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local --with-rpath=-Wl,-rpath,

./configure  --prefix=/usr --with-pam --with-selinux 
--with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd/ --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh 
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl

PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/openssl/lib64/pkgconfig' 
./configure  --prefix=/usr --with-pam --with-selinux 
--with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd/ --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh 
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local


Finally, this worked.

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pam --with-selinux 
--with-privsep-path=/var/lib/sshd/ --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh 
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl-3.0.16/

Then I had to comment two lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

# GSSAPI options
#GSSAPIAuthentication yes
#GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes


Then make install succeeded.  I haven't quite finished making the new 
compiles effective.

Thanks
