openssl directory? SSL/TLS toolkit?

[lukasbradley]

I'm using Fedora Core 2, and need to know where my openssl directory is located. I've found the base location in /usr/bin but that's just the executable.

I'm attempting to build Apache 2 with SSL enabled using the following command within the downloaded source.

./configure --prefix=/tmp/apachetest --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl

However, the script bombs out with the following messages.

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit base... /usr/bin
checking for SSL/TLS toolkit version... unknown
checking for SSL/TLS toolkit includes... configure: error: OpenSSL headers not found

Is this toolkit a default Fedora install? If so, where is it? Can I yum it?

Thanks for any help.

Have you openssl-devel package installed on your box? Check with "rpm -qa | grep openssl". Header files are provided with *-devel packages.

Lukas, try what Andreacs said. I ran "rpm -qa | grep openssl" on my machine and it seems that the openssl-devel package isn't installed, I did a little more browsing and after I installed it it worked.
