Hi,
I run a Cobalt RaQ4 server that has a number of sites. I need to tweak the (perl) shopping suite of one of the users so it works with a credit card company. To do this it needs to send https messages. The server can happily recieve https.

The system (built on RedHat) has a built in partial installation of openssl, (without libraries), that is not enough to allow my to install Crypt::SSLeay.

I have built a new complete version in another place, so as not to disturb the existing use of the built in version.

I then built and tried to test Crypt::SSLeay which resulted in errors.

What is wrong, how do I fix it?

Thanks.
