Re: configuring --with-ssl. Oooooeeeepppppsss

I am running SuSE 7.3, kernel 2.4.9
I installed openssl with Yast. Yast stands for : "Yet Another Setup Tool"
which executes the rpm command after selecting a package.

Below is an extract of rpm -qiR openssl:
* ------------begin rpm ---------------------------

The configure script will "end abnormally" when only openssl is installed.
After installing openssl-devel which contains "OpenSSL source tree, header
files and static libraries" it works fine
Beneath the outcome of rpm -qiR openssl-devel

I tried to figure out what the "configure" scripts does and for what reason
it fails without the openssl-devel package. But I am sorry, I just do not
have the knowlegde to tell you.

I will ask a college of mine, who knows unix better than the contents of his
pockets (dutch saying). I think he will be able to explain it to me.
