in thread Install LWP::Protocol::https

My linux skills are not that strong so please bear with me.

I believe that OpenSSL is installed on Cygwin by default:

 Heim@Heim-PC ~
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

Heim@Heim-PC ~
$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

Heim@Heim-PC ~
$

[download]

I'm not clear on where the file "openssl/ssl.h" should be found. Looking at the install instructions for Crypt::SSLeay, it looks like at least one environment variable is not set:"

Heim@Heim-PC ~
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH


Heim@Heim-PC ~
$

[download]

What should the path be set to? Is there anything else that I need to do?

Thanks, Edward

    I believe that OpenSSL is installed on Cygwin by default:

    Um, so when you use Windows+F "file finder" to search your cygwin directory, where do you find ssl.h?

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    forget about this, its got nothing to do with missing headers

      Sorry for not being clear: I didn't have the ssl.h header file. I found that I had to re-install Cygwin with the "OpenSSL development environment". I now find the header file at

      ./usr/include/openssl/ssl.h

      Are there any environment variables that I need to setup?

      Thanks, Edward
