    httpd + openssl : compilation issues while using shared openssl library

    I am using httpd-2.2.31 , trying to use openssl-1.0.2t with --with-ssl and --enable-ssl parameter.

    --with-ssl points to the openssl installed directory.

    I am having redhat 5.7 with x86_64 ,where the compiled binaries would be running.

    Used the openssl parameters of shared ,to get ssl shared objects while compiling the openssl in centos 5.7 .


    i try to use ssl as shared library , i get below error

    opt/apache/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/apache/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: requires glibc 2.5 or later dynamic linker
    apxs:Error: Sorry, no shared object support for Apache.
    apxs:Error: available under your platform. Make sure.
    apxs:Error: the Apache module mod_so is compiled into.



    Any inputs on this would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure what exactly your question is, but the errors point to:

    1. Your glibc being too old
    2. Apache needing to be compiled with mod_so module support


    So naturally, you'd want to upgrade to a more recent version of your OS. Why are you sticking RHEL 5 anyway? Some legacy system that would be too expensive to modernize?

    I am trying to upgrade openssl package for one my target board package .

    This is legacy code . It has already shared objects of previous version openssl-1.0.1t .Here i am trying to upgrade openssl to 1.0.2t.

    The httpd binary runs in the redhat el 5.7.

    Here to update the dependent libraries , I Take the source and get compiled in centos 5.7 , take the installed libraries and use them httpd compilation with --with-ssl=<installed dir>

    The issue i think is with steps or the system where i am trying to generate the openssl shared objects.

    Why so because , even if i try with the old source 1.0.1t and use those generated libraries i get same error.

    Should i compile in redhat 5.7 EL only ?. will that make any difference ?.

    I suggest trying a static only build [of libssl] maybe using "no-shared" or maybe "-static" configure option.

    Note: This is a mostly wild guess. Tim S.
