Re: [tbox-l] Overriding installp prerequisites

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

I asked about this and was told that you can't override it; it checks via
an install script and if the script fails, then it will not install.... and
if openssl is not actually "installed", the script will fail.

At any rate, even if you could install it, it might not recognize your
openssl.  They compiled it using the AIX Toolbox copy of openssl, so it is
going to look explicitly for libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7) in /usr/lib,
/lib, and /opt/freeware/lib.  Your archive might look different.

You could just install the AIX Toolbox version of OpenSSL (in addition to
your own), or you could build your own openssh as well and set it up to
link directly to your own openssl.

To get the Toolbox OpenSSL, go to:
http:/www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aixtbx/aixtbx-p
Or, if you want to do your own OpenSSH build, source is at openssh.org.
