php - configure: error: Can't find OpenSSL's .




Posted by Christopher, 09-07-2003, 06:15 PM
I need to update my Raq 4i to php 4.3.3 so I can use openssl to be able to connect and get a file on a secure server. I downloaded php-4.3.3, and when configuring included: ------------- --with-openssl=/usr/sbin/openssl ------------- The configuring seemed to go well except for one thing, I got: -------------------- checking for OpenSSL support... yes configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's --------------------- what does mean? and more important, what do I do to fix this? I have OpenSSL 0.9.6 on the server, haven't downloaded anything extra from php.net (other that the php-4.3.3 download), do I need anything else? Chris

evp.h is a header file that it can't find. Try --with-openssl=/usr/sbin or --with-openssl=/usr alternatively, you could always search for evp.h and find out where it is on your system and use the parent dir for your --with-openssl directive. best of luck

Thanks, I did a search for evp.h and don't find it anywhere on the server. I can locate openssl ok, and: 'openssl version' tells me that it's version OpenSSL 0.9.6b 9 Jul 2001, so I assume it's all there and working, but maybe not??? Chris

Installing openssl-devel fixed this problem on my system.
