Re: [Libpki-users] problems building libpki 0.6.7

[David O'C. <dav...@cs...>]

Hi,

I ran into the same problem encountered by Mark Nejedlo in May. I joined the
mailing list to reply!

My workaround is to statically link against libresolv.a for the binaries in
src/tools. I've attached a patch for that.

I had to do something similar with openca-ocspd. I have been working on
producing up-to-date EL5 RPMs for both.

Kind regards,

David
