Re: Problems compiling qpopper 4.0.12 with openssl

Hi Randall
Thanks for the reply! I put a blank space after the tls and it worked! Now 
for the patch in the makefile. I had noticed As I had moved from openssl 
0.9.7x to 0.9.8x that it did not linked properly with the libraries. When I 
typed make the linker failed with errors. This was due as some people 
suggested in the openssl-users email list (as that time I did the transition 
this list had problems with the posts) to the missing -ldl parameter in the 
libraries section of the makefile in the popper directory. I added this 
parameter _-ldl_ and the make worked fluently!

Thanks A lot for the replies All of you!
