PHP 4.0 Bug #9559: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto

From: gzero@totalnet.ro Operating system: RedHat Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto I have the PHP 4.0.4pl1 source tarball. I used the following config command: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr --with-imap --with-imap-ssl Configure runs fine, when I attempt a 'make' I get this: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/php-4.0.4pl1' [stub.c compiles fine, the next compile line gives this:] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/php-4.0.4pl1' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I happen to have a solution. PHP 4.0.4pl1 indeed would have no trouble finding libcrypto.a, if only it would be in /usr/lib. It sometimes gets installed in /usr/local/ssl/lib. Just copy libcrypto.a to /usr/lib and run configure then make again. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9559&edit=1
