Monks,

I've been trying to install a couple of ... yep ... "Crypto" modules lately, in my Linux box (RedHat 9). Among other (simpler) things, I've lost on what is going wrong with Crypt::RSA and Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA.

To install, I use:
perl -MCPAN -e shell, then install <module>
An exerpt from a failed install: 
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:160: parse error before "kssl_build_princi
+pal_2"
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:160: parse error before "context"
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:163: parse error before "kssl_validate_tim
+es"
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:163: parse error before "atime"
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:165: parse error before "kssl_check_authen
+t"
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:165: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:167: parse error before "enctype"
In file included from DSA.xs:15:
/usr/include/openssl/ssl.h:909: parse error before "KSSL_CTX"
/usr/include/openssl/ssl.h:931: parse error before '}' token
make: *** [DSA.o] Error 1
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

The cpan shell takes care of installing all the "child" modules (worked for all previous installations).
What's wrong (or special) about this one?

Thanks,
Rupesh.
