in reply to Installing Net::SSLeay on Linux

--how can i get past this and install this module?
Install openssl? Pass the correct path to your openssl installation directory?

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    my openssl is installed

    openssl version
    OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005

    which openssl
    /usr/bin/openssl
    --when i pass this to cpan i still get the same error above. i've also tried passing '/usr/bin' to cpan. same error.

    i've also tried installing the development environment libssl-dev. it did not make a different and i still get the same error

      Examine Makefile.PL, you'll see this

my %configParams = (

      You want to focus on INC/LIBS, 
          LIBS    => ["-L$openssl_path -L$openssl_path/lib -L$openssl_path/o
+ut32dll $libs"],
    INC     => "-I$openssl_path/include -I$openssl_path/inc32 -I/usr/k
+erberos/include",

      $openssl_path is the path you're supposed to pass, and its supposed to contain $libs 
      $libs = $rsaref ? "-lssl -lcrypto -lRSAglue -lrsaref" : "-lssl -lcrypt
+o";

      What this means is that "ssl.$Config{dlext}", "crypto.$Config{dlext}" (%Config from use Config;) are supposed to be located somewher in $openssl_path, $openssl_path/lib, $openssl_path/out32dll, because thats where the compiler/linker are going to look (perl -V:cc -V:ld).

      Feel free to edit the Makefile.PL LIBS/INC entries appropriately.

        how can i set $OPENSSL_PATH if it's currently undefined on my system?

        echo $OPENSSL_PATH gives me nothing.
        i was also able to find Makefile.PL's for other installed perl modules, ie.,

        /root/.cpan/build/Archive-Zip-1.16/Makefile.PL
        /root/.cpan/build/Crypt-CipherSaber-1.00/Makefile.PL
        /root/.cpan/build/Test-Warn-0.08/Makefile.PL
        /root/.cpan/build/Test-Exception-0.21/Makefile.PL

        etc., but none that seemed specific to Net::SSLeay
