Topic: How to install openssl-devel package ?

[arne]

Hello !

I try to compile some sourcode (Asterisk) on the SME 7 R2 after installation of compilators development environment, etc.

I need to install the openssl-devel package from Centos 4.3, but SME 7.0 R2 will not accept this package:

[root@sme7 asterisk]# yum install openssl-devel
....
Transaction Check Error:   package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8sme1 (which is newer than openssl-0.9.7a-43. is already installed

The problem sems to be that the SME 7.0 do not have the original openssl package, but a modified one. Because of this openssl-devel refuse to install.

The error message during compilation that makes me believe that i need openssl-devel looks like this:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [asterisk] Error 1
[root@sme7 asterisk]#

Anyboudy who has a sugestion for a way around this ?


Best reg Arne.

I was stuck on this one for some hors, but at the moment I posted the question at this forum, I remebered that I could use the --nodeps property of the rpm command.

Asterisk went straight in when the system got the openssl-devel package and it seems to be working ok .. (I hope.)
