confirming my approach

I have been working on a problem for a couple of weeks and I'm begining 
to doubt myself...
I can use some confirmation...

I 'm trying to port a working application (Working on FreeBSD 5.2.1 
32-bit) to
a FreeBSD 5.3 amd64 and am experiencing seg fualt when calling 
SSL_library_init().

So I got the openssl-0.9.7e sources and compiled and installed in a 
different directory say /usr/local/lib
instead of the system provided libs in /usr/lib/. I then set my 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
and confirm my executable with ldd(1) which shows

medit64# ldd dapid
dapid:
        libcrypt.so.2 => /lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x8007d1000)
        libssl.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.3 (0x8008ea000)
        libcrypto.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x800b01000)
        libpthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1 (0x800d52000)
        libstdc++.so.4 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4 (0x800e7c000)
        libm.so.3 => /lib/libm.so.3 (0x80107a000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x80119c000)

I then try to set a break point in gdb by setting my dir to the source 
dir, but I get the
following gdb error message

(gdb) dir /tmp/e/openssl/work/openssl-0.9.7e/ssl
Source directories searched: 
/tmp/e/openssl/work/openssl-0.9.7e/ssl:$cdir:$cwd
(gdb) break ssl_algs.c:SSL_library_init()
Function "ssl_algs.c:SSL_library_init()" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
(gdb) q
medit64# ls /tmp/e/openssl/work/openssl-0.9.7e/ssl/ssl_algs.c
/tmp/e/openssl/work/openssl-0.9.7e/ssl/ssl_algs.c
medit64#

As you see, when I instruct gdb to set a break point in ssl_algs.c, gdb 
say I can not find the file
but ls surely finds it ...

Here is some general questions...
My applications links with libgsoap++.a, libssl.so, pthreads, etc...
My libgsoap++.a is actually the one that calls SSL functions such as 
SSL_library_init().
When I create libgsoap++.a, it does not matter which SSL libs will be 
used (/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib)
Does the compiler/linker in the course of creating libgsoap++.a records 
the filename that will be used
to run (ie /usr/lib/libssl.so) or this is all resolved at run time and 
based on LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ldconfig

I appreciate any help you can provide...


Is there any gdb
