Some change in openssl/crypto has broken libtorrent configure
...I think. I have two boxes, with relatively fresh installations of 6.1-RELEASE, upgraded to 6-STABLE by-the-book (/usr/src/Makefile). Before I upgraded, I had no problems installing libtorrent from ports, but after the upgrade, the configure script fails. It's the same behavior on both machines. It fails right after checking for openssl: ... checking for openssl... gnome-config: not found gnome-config: not found configure: error: Could not find openssl's crypto library exit: Illegal number: try exit: Illegal number: try (crash, no error) So I downloaded the source code http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/libtorrent-0.8.5.tar.gz tried to run configure with an argument: ./configure --without-openssl and it completed successfully. (Without that argument, it didn't.) I'm sort of new to UNIX, new to FreeBSD and new to STABLE, so I don't really know where to turn with this. I thought someone in here perhaps knew about a change in openssl/crypto in STABLE that might cause this. - or could guide me a step further in having this problem solved. :) I'm not a coder btw. Kind regards, Lars
