Where have you actually extracted OpenSSL? Have you extracted it to
/opt/openssl and so the 'cp' is blowing up because its trying to install
files on top of themselves?

setup it's own directory structure. Then I created a symlink in /opt called
"openssl" which points to "openssl.0.9.6a". I do this with all the packages
I install under HPUX. When I look under /opt/openssl/include/openssl all of
the files there are symlinks that point up two dirs to the main file. Then
this cp command comes along and tries to copy the files from the main dir
down to the include/openssl dir and it blows up. I also cannot turn off this
behavior with switches on cp.

Well that's the problem. The symlink is effectively making cp try to
copy files back onto themselves when they follow the link. Many versions
of cp will give an error when they attempt to do this.
If instead of the link you make a directory /opt/openssl and proceed as
before it should install OK.

cause a problem? I have a real directory at /opt/openssl.0.9.6a and in the
/opt directory I have a symbolic link named "openssl" which merely points to
the real directory openssl.0.9.6a. The problem lies in the fact that the
perl script is trying to copy /opt/openssl.0.9.6a/e_os.h to
/opt/openssl/include/openssl/e_os.h and the latter file is a symbolic link,
built by some part of the make script, which points to ../../e_os.h. When cp
tries to do the copy it it resolves the link first, then tries to do the
copy and it's the same file, so it blows up. The more I talk about this the
more I realize this is a bug and I should be reporting this to the bug list.
I think that's my next stop.

* It is not necessary to take this to the openssl-bugs list. Both Steve
Henson and myself are members of the OpenSSL developers team and all other
members of the team read openssl-users, too. You won't reach a new
audience.
* I again repeat my recommondation:
- unpack the OpenSSL source into an independant directory, say
/home/sources/openssl-0.9.6a
Then you can
mkdir /opt/openssl-0.9.6a
ln -s /opt/openssl-0.9.6a /opt/openssl
and finally
make install
* We do not support that the build directory and the installation directory
are the same, thus /home/sources/openssl-0.9.6a != /opt/openssl-0.9.6a !!
Best regards,
Lutz

It's a synonym, and thusly translates to the real dirctory whenever
used. Therefore, it's in effect the same directory.

through my thick skull, and allowed OpenSSL to install to a different
directory than the source unpacked into. Everything went smoothly with the
installation. I now have to configure and test, but at least it's all there
now.
OpenSSL is the first package I've ever installed under HPUX that required
installation under a different directory than the source tree. Usually there
is a src dir under the top level, etc, but OpenSSL is not structured that
way. Sorry it took me so long and so much bandwidth to get this solved.
Thanks again to all who helped and offered suggestions.
