G'Day,

After I got all working on RH 6.2, I tried 7.1 as we need it for various
small annoying reasons.

Anyway, RH 7.1 has OpenSSL 9.6 and a few other things preinstalled. And a
lot of the stuff on the system needs it or is installed with openSSL as a
dependency.

Now cURL compiled ok with ssl support and it works. However PHP konks out
when it gets to it's openssl part in it's ./configure script (4.0.5) it
can't find avg.h (or similar I forget now). Now the file it wants and all
these other header files for openssl are in /usr/include/openssl

It is usr/include/openssl that I pointed cURL at when it compiled.

Now do I need ssl support in PHP if I am going to use curl to fetch https
pages? Or is the support in cURL enough?

What happens to all the other programs that come with rh 7.1 that use the
version of openssl installed as a dependency if I compile a new one? What
if I compile but do not do a make install? Can I have different programs
use different library versions?

And why would PHP not compile? I have pointed it to many directories?
Should there be a openssl devel package installed?

This is important as we need to get simple instructions for installing cURL
so we can get the ISPS that host the code we develop for clients to work
easily and cURL is central!

Cheers and many thanks,

Richard.
