#14 Won't compile under AIX 5.3

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I'm trying to compile EAS under AIX and the configure
script exits with:
<snip>
checking for openssl... no
checking for OpenSSL location... not found

Unable to find the OpenSSL library location
Use --with-ssl to specify the location.
</snip>

Allthough openssl and openssl-devel are installed.

openssl-0.9.7g-1
openssl-devel-0.9.7g-1

It doesnt matter which path I use with the --with-ssl
option it always fails.

This is what rpm -ql shows for openssl and openssl-
devel:

My guess is that the configure script has a problem
but I'm not sure.

Btw. when compiling other software like dovecot with ssl
support usually "CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/freeware/include/openssl
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/freeware/lib ./configure" works fine but not
for EAS.

did you try --with-ssl=/opt/freeware ?

It looks like ./configure is looking for ${something}/bin
and ${something}/include , and
/opt/freeware/include/openssl/ssl.h seems to fit configure:42 .

Since I have no idea what you'll've tried, though, I'm just
guessing. "doesn't matter which" seems a pretty frail
generalisation, although it's more a desire to understand
the problem and recommend a fix which prompts me to ask.

I wonder why dovecot - and presumably other packages - have
problems building under 5L. That directory listing looks
awfully shimmish, so watch that the binaries use the right libs.

Duh!

Guess I should quit my job!
--with-ssl=/opt/freeware worked fine!

I tried things like /opt/freeware/lib or /opt/freeware/
include as other programs required a more precise location
of the libs. Maybe the path could be added to the configure
script for future versions to avoid the confusion.

Thanks!
