Hi,
it took us some hours to find out the reason for the following error occuring during configure of 4.2 on Solaris 9:
"Checking for OpenSSL ...
Found OpenSSL include files in /usr/local/ssl/include
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
dlsym
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(dso_dlfcn.o) (symbol belongs to implicit
dependency /etc/lib/libdl.so.1)
dlopen

dlerror

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to test-ssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake: *** [test-link] Error 1
WARNING: OpenSSL library files found in /usr/local/ssl/lib, but link fails.
Continuing with SSL support disabled."
The reason was that the link to ld was missing in Makefile.SunOS used by Makefile.test-ssl. Adding it as NETLIBS = -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl (org) NETLIBS = -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -ldl (new) in Makefile.SunOS solved the problem. I don't know if our solaris setup is somehow specific or ig this can be added generally to this file.
greetings Rolf
