Summary: problem compiling curl-7.17.1 with openssl-0.9.8g by source

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I have a new clean system running Centos 5 (minimal install - nothing except the compilers).

uname -a:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 08:32:04 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I then installed openssl-0.9.8g from source:

cd openssl-0.9.8g
./config --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
make; make install

I then attempted to install curl-7.17.1:

cd curl-7.17.1
./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl;

Here's the error message:

configure: error: OpenSSL libs and/or directories were not found where specified!

I also attempted to add /usr/local/ssl/lib and /usr/local/ssl/include in the file /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig - didn't do anything.

I also attempted to compile using:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" \
./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl;

Same problem. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Pierre G

Hi,

In a previous post I mentioned that I had attempted the following:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig \
./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl;

The result was the same as without the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig \ line.
The config.log is exactly the same as the previous failed configure
without the PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig . (I did a diff)

If you could please try it on your end, it might help for you to see what
I am experiencing.

Cheers,

Dynamic libraries' names end in .so while static libraries end in .a

Does the config.log file look any different this time? Did the -ldl hack
work? What's the output of the command:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs libssl

The log shows that gcc is linking OpenSSL statically, and a library is
missing on the link command. Using LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -ldl"
will
probably let you compile, but that's just papering over the problem.
First,
did you compile just a static version of OpenSSL or did you create a
dynamic version as well?

On a clean Centos 5 system (with minimal install, and only development
tools installed) (development tools are gcc, etc):

I install openssl from source by doing the following:

cd /usr/local/src
tar xfz openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.8g
./config --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl
make; make install

I don't know if this installs openssl as static or dynamic. How would I be
able to tell?

Second, did OpenSSL install a .pc file anywhere

Here's the results of my search:

[root_at_localhost src]# updatedb
[root_at_localhost src]# locate .pc
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/modules.pcimap
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/modules.pcimap
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/devmapper-event.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/devmapper.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libnfsidmap.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/librpcsecgss.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
/usr/local/src/curl-7.17.1/libcurl.pc.in
/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.7m/openssl.pc
/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.8g/libcrypto.pc
/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.8g/libssl.pc
/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.8g/openssl.pc
/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc
/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
/usr/local/ssl-0-9-7/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
/usr/share/doc/gawk-3.1.5/README_d/README.pc
/usr/share/doc/gawk-3.1.5/README_d/README.pcdynamic

for use with pkg-config? If so, then try setting the environment variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that directory (probably something like
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ) before configuring. You
shouldn't need to specify LDFLAGS or CPPFLAGS if everything is configured
properly.

Sure, Here's my attempt:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig \
./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl;

checking for CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... no
checking for ssl with RSAglue/rsaref libs in use... checking for
SSL_connect in -lssl... (cached) no
no
configure: error: OpenSSL libs and/or directories were not found where
specified!

Still the same problem.

Is this an openssl problem or curl problem?

Yes, the file structure is very similar.

For openssl-0.9.8g:

One last comment. I have been able to compile openssl 0.9.8g with curl
7.16.4:

cd curl-7.16.4
./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl; make; make install

Are the files installed in /usr/local/ssl similar to the ones installed in
/usr/local/ssl-0-9-7? Can you post the relevant parts of the OpenSSL
checking output of config.log for the failing case?

I'd like to add that when I do the following on the SAME system, the
compile works with openssl version 0.9.7. So this should help to confirm
that I didn't do anything wrong.

I downloaded openssl-0.9.7m.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.7m
./config --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl-0-9-7
make; make install

./configure --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl-0-9-7/;
make; make install

No problem with the configure and the make & make install
