I'd really like to get this working, but I'm not sure what other information you require? All other posts on this subject refer to making sure zlib is included when openssl is compiled. Well, I've confirmed that it is.

Would a strace of stunnel attempting to start up help?

FYI - The output of stunnel -version displays...

stunnel 4.15 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv4 Auth:LIBWRAP

Could someone please provide me with some suggestions.

Thanks very much.

OK - after checking the OpenSSL src-rpm I can confirm that zlib is compiled...

./Configure \ --prefix=%{_prefix} --openssldir=%{_datadir}/ssl ${sslflags} \ zlib no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-ec shared \ --with-krb5-flavor=MIT \ -I%{_prefix}/kerberos/include -L%{_prefix}/kerberos/%{_lib} \ ${sslarch}

Any ideas why the "compression=zlib" option still produces the "Failed to add zlib compression method" error?

Thanks very much.

Hi there,

When I try to enable zlib compression at the server I get this error when starting it up...

2006.06.23 15:44:39 LOG3[3426:3086293504]: Failed to add zlib compression method

How do I get zlib to work? Do I need to compile OpenSSL with zlib?

I'm using Fedora Core 3 with stunnel-4.15, and OpenSSL and zlib are from RPM's.

Thanks very much.
