Bug #25703	openssl Library not found

Description:
------------
./configure will not succeed on Redhat 7.3 if openssl is enabled (the shipped openssl-rpm [0.9.6b] does not include a pkgconfig-file).

This became broken in 4.3.4RC1 (4.3.3 worked fine). I quick checked that the config-script was changed to use pkg-config for detecting the library. I could fix it by copying the openssl.pc-file from redhat 9.0 and editing the version information in it.

However, since that file is not there in RH7.3 you should either use the old behavior or document it and saying how to fix it.

(My apologies if this should be posted to a discussion list.)

This is still broken in the source code (4.3.4 downloaded
on 07 Nov 2003).
On IRIX 6.5.21f, using gcc 3.3.2, using openssl-0.9.7c:
-----
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl=../openssl-0.9.7c --with-mm=../mm-1.3.0
-----
ends with
-----
Configuring extensions
checking for OpenSSL support... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries
-----
I have "setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/ssl/lib".

(The openssl installation completes with
-----
cp openssl.pc /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig
chmod 644 /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig
-----
Why "644"?  This makes it hard for non-roots to access.
Configuring as root or changing to "755" doesn't help.)

./configure will not succeed on SuSe 8.1 ifopenssl is enabled (I have installed the latest available version)

I copied /usr/lib/libopenssl* /usr/local/lib/

that works for me. Maybe u should add /usr/lib for search-path in configure script?

For anyone else arriving at this page in the hope of information, simply leaving the config directive at '--with-openssl' instead of '--with-openssl=<path to my dir>' works great on the same system that I was experiencing this problem on. So, just one other thing to try in case you have this error.
