OpenSSL

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/share solaris-sparcv9-cc
       other possible flags:
                 solaris64-sparcv9-cc

Configure for Opteron Solaris (32-bit version):

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