in reply to Net::SSLeay + Solaris 10 + OpenSSL v0.9.7b == frustration

And the thot plickens! I just restored the copy of OpenSSL that was originally installed on the system and tried the build of the module again. Saw this during the Makefile.PL stage:

Checking for OpenSSL-0.9.6j or 0.9.7b or newer... You have OpenSSL-0.9.7e installed in /usr/local/ssl *** Could not figure out which C compiler was used to compile /usr/loc +al/ssl/bin/openssl. It is essentiall that OpenSSL, perl, and Net::SSL +eay are compiled with the same compiler and flags. Mixing and matchin +g compilers is not supported. at ./Makefile.PL line 140.
and in spite of that the module actually compiled. When make test was run I got the same error however. Going back and trying to build a 64 bit Perl and see if that fixes things.

Solaris is such a PITA at times...

      Oh! You won't get any argument out of me there. I remember well the horror show I had just getting Perl built on HPUX back in the day (1989 or so) when I was still a Junior SysAdm and trying to get anything from comp.unix.sources to compile.

      But I think it made a better SysAdm out of me in the long run.
