Problems installing Crypt::SSLeay

[jrdmcgr]

You'll have to excuse me if some of this seems simple—I'm just not too
savvy.
I came across the following dialogue when running CPAN to install
Crypt::SSLeay.

I chose to let CPAN auto-configure as this was the first time that
I've run it, and I don't know the location of most of the programs
that it asks you to locate.

Anyway, it gave me the following output:

======================================================================
No installed SSL libraries found in any of the following places.
/local
/local/ssl
/opt/ssl
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/ssl
/usr/local/openssl
You will have to either specify a directory location at the following
prompt, or rerun the Makefile.PL program and use the --lib switch
to specify the path. If the path in question is considered standard
on your platform, please consider filing a bug report in order to
have it taken into account in a subsequent version of Crypt::SSLeay.

Which SSL install path do you want to use? /usr
/usr does not appear to be an SSL library installation, since
the required header files were not found. The build cannot proceed.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

=======================================================================

I don't know if the problem is with the absent header files or with
make—or both.
Some clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the Mac Developer tools installed?

The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

Thanks. Developer tools was definitely needed for SSL but it seems
that I'm still having trouble with make.

Here is some more terminal output from CPAN:

BUILD INFORMATION
================================================
ssl library: OpenSSL 0.9.7 in /usr
ssl header: openssl/ssl.h
libraries: -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgcc

Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgcc
Writing Makefile for Crypt::SSLeay
The test suite can attempt to connect to public servers
to ensure that the code is working properly. If you are
behind a strict firewall or have no network connectivity,
these tests may fail (through no fault of the code).

-- NOT OK
Running make test

Running make install

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kind of ambiguous, so I'm not sure what to do. I've only compiled
programs from source a few times, so I'm in the dark here.

I've had similar problems installing Crypt::SSLeay. And I should add
that I am extremely ignorant about Perl and Terminal. In fact, I had
never opened my Mac Terminal until I tried to copy billyd's set-up for
syncing Simplenote with Notational Velocity using SimplenoteSync
(http://billyd.net/post/204970320/simple-notes-that-sync-minus-the-
stink). I haven't worked with a Terminal since MS DOS days.

First, I'll report (as best as I can remember) what I've done, and
then give the error messages I've received.

The first time I opened my Terminal, I typed:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Crypt::SSLeay”

Then I started to get dialogue prompting me to say whether I wanted
automatic or manual configuration. Foolishly, I selected manual and
began to be asked a variety of questions to which I didn't know the
answer. I think I uniformly selected the default suggestions, until I
got to the dialogue asking for my path to OpenSSL, at which point I
think I guessed at a path and, before completing the installation,
simply bailed and quit Terminal. At that point I also realized that I
had missed a step in billyd's instructions--installing XCode. So I got
my DVD install disk for Mac OS X (Leopard), and installed XCode.

Then I tried again from the start, typing:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Crypt::SSLeay”

This time, I opted to automatically configure. When I do this, the
only prompt I'm given is when I'm asked "Which install path do you
want to use?" I simply hit enter to select the default. The
installation appears to proceed, and then I'm asked if I want to try
the live tests. I say yes, and then I get an error that looks very
similar to the above poster. Here's a complete quote of my Terminal
output, from beginning to end:

Since hitting this wall, I've tried downloading the latest version of
SimplenoteSync from github, which has Crypt packaged with it. I put
SimplenoteSync.pl and the "Crypt" folder in the same folder on my hard
drive, and then tried to run SimplenoteSync.pl, but I got this error:

runners-macbook-pro:~ wcm1$ perl -w /Users/wcm1/Scripts/
SimplenoteSync.pl
Network: get token
Problem connecting to web server.
Have you installed Crypt:SSLeay as instructed?

After reading the thread on CPANforum listed above, I've tried three
additional things, suspecting that maybe I don't have "make" installed
on my computer. First, I entered ...

runners-macbook-pro:~ wcm1$ CPAN> o

But got nothing in return. Then I tried this:

runners-macbook-pro:~ wcm1$ CPAN> o conf make /usr/bin/make o conf
commit

Nothing happened for a few seconds, and then I got a command prompt
again. At that point I tried the install Crypt:SSLeay command again,
and got the exact same, long output as above.

Next, I couldn't quite figure out from the above thread what to do if
you suspect "make" is not installed (whatever that means--this is like
reading Greek for me). But, perhaps foolishly, I tried this:

runners-macbook-pro:~ wcm1$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e "install Make"

So I had this problem as well... The fix for me was to reinstall XCode
(Developer Tools) and be sure to install the unix development tools.

Hope that fixes it for you too.

[Fletcher T. Penney]

Anyone else who has had that problem should try this fix... I'm not
sure that I specified the unix part (I took it for granted).

Let me know if it solves the problem for people who tried Development
tools before...

Thanks!

I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit
the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

This didn't work for me ( using the 10.5 install DVD ).
What system are you running?
Still wishing I could sync my notes...

[Nick]

I'm sorry, I may be too much of a n00b here, with my terminal
experience dating back to DOS 5.0 but I'll ask away anyway.

Can I ask you what "this fix" is?

My situation:
- trying to set up simple note sync for use with notational velocity
- running OS X 10.6.2. on macbook air
- installed dev tools from installation disc, it doesn't let me check
the unix box however
- then just input "sudo perl -MCPAN -e “install Crypt::SSLeay”" like
it's said at http://billyd.net/post/204970320/simple-notes-that-sync-minus-the-stink
- and the end part of the result you'll find below

My question: How do I make this work with absolutely zero knowledge of
unix/terminal/whatnot?

Thanks for any and all help!
