RE: [stunnel-users] SSL Libraries on Debian

I tried compiling Stunnel on Debian and get an error -- I need the ssl libraries. I tried ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl, which is where libssl-dev was installed, and it doesn't help.

You're wrong. libssl-dev installs libraries in /usr/lib:

$ dpkg -L libssl-dev | grep libcrypto /usr/lib/libcrypto.a /usr/lib/libcrypto_pic.a /usr/lib/libcrypto.so

For stunnel you should use: ./configure --with-ssl=/usr since that's the prefix OpenSSL libraries and includes are installed on Debian.

BTW: Simple ./configure works fine on Debian.
