qmail compilation error, ssl.h missing

[dctelf]

during the make setup check part of section 2 of qmr, I get the following error,

/usr/src/qmail/qmail-1.03# make setup check
./compile qmail-remote.c
qmail-remote.c:36: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [qmail-remote.o] Error 1



openssl is definetely installed on my server (through apt-get). Has anyone come across this before? What am I doing wrong?

Cheers, Telf

I've sorted this problem, I don't understand how though.

I installed openssl from source rather than using apt, tried the compilation of qmail again and everything worked fine.

Hi

I have the same problem. I tried compiling from source and got/usr/local/bin/perl not found. I have perl installed with apt-get.

Hi

found the Debian solution:

apt-get install libssl-dev
