Greetings Monks and Monkettes,
I have on many occasions installed Net::SSLeay on Solaris boxes and this includes Solaris 10. For reasons I don't understand I can't get it to work this time.

Here's the setup:
Operating SystemSolaris 10
Perl Version5.8.8
OpenSSL Version0.9.7b
gcc version3.3.2

The first indication that I see that somthing might be a tad wrong is when I run the Makefile.PL I see the following: 

*** /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl appears to be compiled with gcc (gcc -B
+/usr/ccs/bin/ -DOPENSSL_SYSNAME_ULTRASPARC -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENT
+RANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 -DOPENSSL_NO_ASM -m
+64 -mcpu=ultrasparc -O3 -Wall -DB_ENDIAN
) while perl is compiled with gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin. Both must be compile
+d with the same compiler and flags. Mixing and matching compilers is 
+not supported. at ./Makefile.PL line 137.

This didn't worry me too badly so I plunged on. I'm not sure what in the compiler string it sees that it don't like other than the fact they don't match 100% so I plunged on.

I ran the make and the only thing that struck me as odd there is: 

gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin  -G -L/usr/local/lib SSLeay.o  -o blib/arch/auto/Ne
+t/SSLeay/SSLeay.so        \
   -L/usr/local/ssl -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto         \

ld: warning: file /usr/local/lib/libssl.a(s2_meth.o): wrong ELF class:
+ ELFCLASS64
ld: warning: file /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a(md5_one.o): wrong ELF cla
+ss: ELFCLASS64

Now.. that worried me a bit. I'm not sure why that is happening since gcc was used for both Perl and OpenSSL in their compiles. In fact, they were compiled on the same machine!

Predictably (at least to me) when I ran a make test it failed. The error wasn't quite what I expected, but here it is as well: 

Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so' for module Net::SSLea
+y: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file blib/arch/auto/Net/SS

+ine 230.

Anybody out there know what magic incantations I sould be inoking at this point? I'm at my wits end with this one.
