openssh installation

**bpark** · 07-22-2003

I'm trying to install openssl and I run into this error during ./configure phase:

Code:

configure&#58; error&#58; ***Can't find recent  OpenSSL crypto &#40;see config.log for details&#41;

I've installed the openssl0.9.6c via debian's .deb but this isn't working correctly. Any ideas?

If you are using Debian why arent you installing via apt-get ?

**bpark** · 07-22-2003

Because the server machine is using a more recent version and sftp is causing problems when I use ssh from apt.

The check is "checking for crypt in -lcrypt", right? I don't really understand how that error is related to it, since that check appears to be checking for crypto availability outside of OpenSSL. Can you check config.log for the actual cause of the error? Especially, check that you have libcrypt somewhere in your lib dirs.

The config.log file is around 8000 lines of code. I was actually very scared by it. Under /lib, I see libcrypt-2.2.5.so and libcrype.so.1.

Yeah, it contains the log of all the tests performed by configure, including the successful ones, that is. You only have to look along the last lines for the one that failed.

Somewhere in the bottom with the gcc line, it says it couldn't find "-lcrypto." I'm assuming that this is referring to the dev files for libcryto?

No, libcrypto is the runtime files. Check where you have libcrypto.so.*.

**bpark** · 07-23-2003

Am I looking for libcrypt.so.* or libcrypto.so.*?

**Dolda2000** · 07-23-2003

The one that failed in config.log.
