hi all !

I got a big problem (for me...)


I'm trying to install open-ssh on an Aix server, running 4.3.3. for that I
also installed open-ssl and zlib.
The versions of the 3 freeware products are
openssh 2.9.2.0
openssl 0.9.6.2
zlib 1.1.3.2

When I tried to generate a key for ssh, I got a problem saying:
exec():0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen because of the
folloging errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a/libcrypto.so)
could not be loaded.
0509-152 Member libcrypto.so is not found in archive


I found that libcrypto.so was not included in libcrypto.a, so I extracted
the file from library on another server,
and added it to my library, on my server.

Now I got another problem, when trying to generate a key:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ssh-keygen because of the following
errors:
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so)
could not be loaded.
0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.


Doen anyone have a clue of how I can solve my problem, since it is very
important that I got the ssh installed.


Thanks

Strangely, I to have the task of setting up a ssh server today.

Through experimentation I have found that a combination of
openssl-0.9.6.0 (which needs to be installed first) and openssh-2.9.2.0
seem to resolve the not found libcrypto.so error message.

But I have heard from others that the current ver of ssl should work
and I don't know if using the older version of ssl is going to cause
other problems.

Well I suppose the questions are:

1. Why does the current version of ssl (0.9.6.2) cause the
following error:

0509-150 Dependent module
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) could not be loaded.

0509-152 Member libcrypto.so is not found in archive


2. What, if any, are the implications of using the older version of
ssl?
