libssl-dev required to build 5.2rc1

[charles Bouillaguet]

Hi all,

I am currently trying to compile 5.2rc1, and the process failed (while
doing the notebook), complaining that I lacked ssl.h (I am running a
quite fresh ubuntu 12.04). After a quick search I installed
libssl-dev, and this was enough to solve the problem. Ergo, either
this extra dependency ought to be advertized, or there is something
wrong with me...

Cheers,

This is a common problem. It's just that I'm too lazy to advertise a
pre-emptive solution at

http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html

This is fixed now.

It's mentioned in the 5.2.rc1 installation documentation. Since 5.2 is
not released yet, the updated installation docs are not on sagemath.org,
though.

You should add dpkg-dev for recent Debian/Ubuntu systems (and in fact,
gfortran is only needed on such systems, otherwise it's not required).

Done.
