RE: ./configure cannot find openssl

Hello all,

Sorry for the self-reply, but the Net-SNMP version may be important here
(probably)...I am using Net-SNMP 5.3.1 compiled from source.

TIA,
Dave Arthur

Subject: ./configure cannot find openssl

Hello all,

I am trying to get SNMPv3 to work *with* encryption (AES/DES), in a SUSE
SLES 9 system.
I am using setting things up with the command:
  ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0

(I tried various other arguments to "--with-openssl", but they all
complained about "...being asked to include OpenSSL but can't find it...",
where the "/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0" causes no complaint.) When configure
finishes, the summary indicates that only MD5 authentication is available,
and no encryption support.

1) Using rpm -qa openssl returns: openssl-0.9.7d-15.21,

2) Do I need to have a newer (or additional) package to get SHA/AES/DES?

3) Is the "--with-openssl" looking for libcrypto, a package, or ???

I have verified that the internal MD5 authentication *does work*, but of
course, I get an error message about the encryption when I try to use it.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave Arthur
