Thread: configuring psqlodbc 08.04.0200 with openssl

configuring psqlodbc 08.04.0200 with openssl

Hello,

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).
psqlodbc 08.04.0200

I'm trying to 'configure' psqlodbc 08.04.0200 without much success.  If I run configure with "--disable-openssl" flag it will complete the configure portion of the install.  but if I run ./configure without arguments, it fails with


checking for SSL_read in -lssl... no
configure: error: ssl library not found

There isn't a '--with-opsnssl=/usr/lib/openssl' option.  I added it to configure.  nothing changes

Do you have a suggestion, please ?

Thank you
Joe

My suggestion: grab the current Fedora SRPM and see if you can build it
on RHEL5.  That way you'll have an RPM rather than some loose files,
which is a whole lot friendlier to manage on Red Hat-based systems.

FWIW, neither the RHEL5 nor the Fedora specfiles do anything special as
regards SSL.  What they *do* do is blow away the rather obsolete libtool
and autoconf stuff included in the psqlodbc package and replace them
with current-for-the-distro tools.  I suspect your issue above traces
to something the old autoconf script did wrong.  Or maybe you just
forgot to install openssl-devel.

            regards, tom lane
