Hi All,

Sorry for replying out-of-thread.

What happens is that the check for SSL_library_init fails as -lcrypto
is missing.

Output from configure

> checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... no

What I usually see in autoconf scripts is that temp CFLAGS etc are set
before the test for SSL libs and reversed after the test.

Adding LIBOPENSSL_LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl" to configure works as well

Would be great if you can fix this!

Thanks,
