OpenSSL issue on CentOS

[north]

hi,

i'm new to node.js and i'm far from being a linux expert, but i'm
still trying to get node.js running on my vserver (CentOS). i think i
got the installation incl. dependencies right.

but when i try ./configure, I get this:

Checking for openssl : not found
Checking for function SSL_library_init : not found
Checking for header openssl/crypto.h : not found
/root/node/wscript:221: error: Could not autodetect OpenSSL support.
Make sure OpenSSL development packages are installed. Use configure --
without-ssl to disable this message.

yum info openssl-devel gives me:

Available Packages
Name : openssl-devel
Arch : i386
Version: 0.9.8e
Release: 12.el5_4.6
Size : 1.9 M
Repo : update
...

Name : openssl-devel
Arch : x86_64
Version: 0.9.8e
Release: 12.el5_4.6
Size : 1.9 M
Repo : update
...

So I have no idea what the problem is. Anybody? Thanks!

It *might* be getting confused as you have both dev packages installed
and the build picks up a mixture which looks like failure. See if it
works with just the 64 bit devel libs installed.

Thanks, Justin.

I removed openssl.i686 0:0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6 but I still get the same
error:

What version of CentOS is this and where is ssl.h located (i.e.
"find / -name ssl.h")?

[north]

hey,

CentOS release 5 (Final) powered by [netclusive]

find / -name ssl.h doesn't give me a result...

Sounds like the openssl-devel package didn't install correctly or
something....

What is the output of: rpm -ql openssl-devel | grep include

[north]

no output...

in how far is it different from yum info openssl-devel?

[Justin Cormack]

Thats giving you the ones you could install, not what is installed

just do yum install openssl-devel and you should be fine...

tried that and got the following error:

Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/krb5.conf from install of krb5-libs-1.6.1-36.el5_4.1
conflicts with file from package krb5-libs-1.5-29

neverending story... ;)

[north]

I had to yum update krb5-libs first, then I was able to run ./
configure, make and make install

Thanks everbody

Just wanted to reply to mention I had the same issue with openssl on
CentOS. 'yum install openssl-devel' resolved it.
