I'm trying to see whether I can compile ctorrent 1.3.2
under Solaris 8 (because I'm looking for a command line
Bittorrent client). The configure script cannot find
the OpenSSL libraries:
checking for SHA1_Init in -lssl... no
checking for SHA1_Init in -lcrypt... no
checking for SHA1_Init in -lmd... no
configure: error: error, Please install OpenSSL first!
I have OpenSSL 0.9.6m installed under /usr/local. crle
is properly configured (with /usr/local/lib) and I even
tried defining LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Every other piece of
OSS that I've ported to Solaris has been able to find
the libraries. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

It is happening to me too when trying to compile 1.3.4 under
mandrake 10.1 community.

same problem on OS X, so i re-ran 'autoconf' in the source code's
directory.. seems to be happy now :)

Try the standalone SHA1 patch in the Sourceforge
patch section. I had a similar problem when trying to
cross-compile ctorrent. IMHO it's not decent to use
all of openssl just to compute SHA1 hashes for the
pieces.
Note: at the moment you have to set
LITTLE_ENDIAN in sha1.h correctly by hand, configure
doesn't probe this yet.

This also occurs on debian 4r1 for ctorrent 3.4 OpenSSL in installed via apt-get

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking for SHA1_Init in -lssl... no
checking for SHA1_Init in -lcrypt... no
checking for SHA1_Init in -lmd... no
configure: error: error, Please install OpenSSL first!

Enhanced CTorrent is the currently maintained version of ctorrent:

http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/

IMHO it makes no sense to maintain ctorrent anymore. ectorrent integrates almost all patches
here on Sourceforge and also can use different libraries for SHA1 as libgcrypt, openssl, etc.
