Cannot link with SSL Library

Check out this old post.

It seems that your openssl libraries do not automatically pull in the
libdl library when you link with it.

As a workaround, you can change build/Makefile.test-ssl: The "test-link"
command reads
   @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OSSLLIB) -o test-ssl test-ssl.o -lssl -lcrypto $(NETLIBS)
Add a "-ldl" after the "$(NETLIBS)".

That should allow the configure script to complete. After that, you must
change the top-level Makefile: It has a line with
   SSLLIBS = -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto
Change that to
   SSLLIBS = -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl

New installation of Xymon 4.3.21 on OpenSUSE 13.2.  Xymon won’t compile
with SSL support even though I have OpenSSL and libopenssl-devel
installed.  When I run “openssl version” it says OpenSSL 1.0.1k-fips.

Here is what I see when I run ./configure:  (note: I also tried running
configure.server with –sslinclude and –ssllib).   When I run “openssl
verions –a” I don’t see gcc listed under compiler.  I see “-I. –I..
–I../incluse –fPIC” etc.  I may have installed gcc after openssl, but gcc
is installed.


Checking for OpenSSL ...

Compiling with SSL library works OK

Warning: Cannot link with SSL library

OpenSSL include- or library-files not found.

Although you can use Xymon without OpenSSL, you will not

be able to run network tests of SSL-enabled services, e.g. https.

So installing OpenSSL is recommended.

OpenSSL can be found at http://www.openssl.org/


If you have OpenSSL installed, use the "--sslinclude DIR" and "--ssllib
DIR"

options to configure to specify where they are.
