Hi Daniel,

Thank you very much for responding! I really appreicate it! I understand
when you say "it didn't find a 0.9.7 libcrypto when linking", but what do I
need to do to fix this problem? I just installed OpenSSL .0.9.7e, and when
I do a search on this particular server for the libcrypto files here's what
it shows below, but the line right before the error message references
lcrypto (minus the "ib") and a search for lcrypto turns up nothing:

root_at_saturn [/backup/system]# slocate libcrypto
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.5a
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
/usr/share/doc/python-docs-1.5.2/Doc/libcrypto.tex
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b
/lib/libcrypto.so.2
/backup/system/openssl-0.9.7c/libcrypto.a
/backup/system/openssl-0.9.7d/libcrypto.a
/backup/system/openssl-0.9.7e/libcrypto.a
root_at_saturn [/backup/system]#

Are you saying there should be a libcrypto.so.0.9.7e executible file in the
/usr/lib/ directory, and if yes how do I get one there since one doesn't
appear to exist on this server? The other libcrypto.so and libctypo.so.0
files are softlinks to the respective libctypto.0.9.x files. I can figure
this all out with just a little more direction... Please! If my idea here
is not what you mean can you please explain and I promise not to bother you
anymore! Thanks again man, hope to hear back from you one more time!

CR...

This means curl was built with OpenSSL 0.9.7 headers, but it didn't find a
0.9.7 libcrypto when linking.
