compiling error - cannot find -lssl

[Mike O'Rourke]

Hi Mark,

Sorry to be jumping in so late, but I have been busy with LDAP, et.al.

Did you compile SASL2 on your machine? If not, did you install it from the 
RPM's? RedHat (even as late as 8.0) only installs SASLv1 by default. You 
are trying to use SASLv1 to compile Cyrus-IMAPd 2.1.11! Try installing 
SASLv2 from the RPM's, if you do not care to download and compile it as well.

As to your original problem, again you need to tip your hat to the kind 
folks at RedHat. The default install does not install the static libraries 
for OpenSSL. So, unless you have explicitely installed the static libraries 
(I am not even sure they are available on the disks), if you look in 
/usr/lib, you will find only libssl.so, libssl.so.0.9.6b and the 
libcrypto.so.0.9.6b files. Hence, -lssl finds no static libraries to link 
to, and chokes.

Mike.
