OpenSSL

NOTE: FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WORKS FINE ON LINUX WHERE WE DO NOT NEED IT BECAUSE IT COMES WITH RHEL4. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT WORK ON SOLARIS, SO IT WAS INSTALLED USING 'pkg...' UTILITIES IN ACCORDING TO FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:

OpenSSL comes with RHEL4. On Solaris it seems exist in /usr/lib/mps and /usr/include/mps but *.so libraries only, no *.a. Anyway, to install it do following:

Download openssl-0.9.7a.tar.gz from web to /usr/local/downloads (the same version we have on RHEL4). Then:

 cp openssl-0.9.7a.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
 cd /usr/local/src/
 gunzip openssl-0.9.7a.tar.gz
 tar xvf openssl-0.9.7a.tar
 cd openssl-0.9.7a

Configure for Sparc Solaris (32-bit version):

 ./Configure --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/myssl solaris-sparcv9-cc
       other possible flags:
                 solaris64-sparcv9-cc

Configure for Opteron Solaris (32-bit version):

 ./Configure --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/myssl solaris-x86-gcc
       other possible flags:
                 solaris-x86-cc
                 solaris64-x86_64-cc

Configure for Linux if nedded:

 ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/share

Compile:

 gmake

Run test (IMPORTANT: if test failed, do not try to continue, most likely nothing will work !):

 gmake test

Install:

 gmake install
