finally figured out what this was.... i was compiling openssl static.
and apparently the configure script has an issue compiling the test
program with the static openssl. i added shared to my openssl config
and works fine now.

the error was a link error trying to mutliple functions starting with
"dl" like dlopen.

i'd really like to use a static build if possible. is there a
workaround for this?

thank you

Pete
