SUMMARY: How to get shlib version number? (SOLVED)

Hi all.

Thanks to Chris Adams <[email protected]> and Steve VanDevender 
<[email protected]>, who responded.

Chris nailed it: "odump -D | grep IVERSION".

This revealed a funny thing: IVERSION: "::0.9.8" - definitely a muckery 
in the Makefile. I have identified the culprit, ./Makefile.shlib, which 
also had one other ommision, resulting in an error message on my system. 
I'll send the patch file to openssl.org, but for all of you here, I'm 
also attaching it to this message.

Nix.

P.S. Since attachments are not allowed, I'm pasting it here
