Building Unbound on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 64-bit

Unbound

Sir

Platform: SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 64-bit
Running script: ./configure
Error message: Checking for SSL... configure : error: cannot find the SSL
libraries in /usr/local/ssl /usr/lib/ssl /usr/ssl /usr/pkg /usr/local
/opt/local /sfw

SSL is installed on this server. We tried changing the "configure" script
to point to the correct folder but received the same error.

DO you have any SUSE-specific tips?

Thank you, Seni

In SUSE, do you have to install the openssl header files and library
separately? Maybe apt-get install openssl-devel does the trick.

Otherwise, can you mail me (privately due to size) the config.log file
that was generated? It may contain more information.

Best regards,

Hello Seni,

On Suse and other RPM-based systems, you need to ensure that the
openssl-devel package is also installed. This package contains the
header files necessary to build software that makes use of SSL. Just use
YaST to install this package, and it will take care of installing any
dependencies as well.

On Opensuse, use yum, not yast for package management.
