Geek help needed

[watervole]

My beloved Richard is stuck and stressing out. Can anyone help?

Richard writing here:

I need to send outgoing https from the server to enhance the perl shopping suite used by one of the users. If this works the actual technical changes to the suite are small and simple.

The basic perl module that adds https to the system is Crypt::SSLeay, this depends on openssl. The server had an installation of openssl, but an incomplete one. So I have rebuilt openssl in a new location. I have then tried to build Crypt::SSLeay, while it apparently built, it fails when used or tested (core dumps!). I have also ivestigated enhanced lynx builds (which also depend on openssl, and fails to build (can't remember the errors I saw)) or Curl (which also depend on openssl).

Is there a geek out there who knows about this, or knows a geek who knows about this. (I know lots of perl but...)

I got that working for a client a few years back. I may be able to help outside office hours. You have my contact details? I may want a testemonial from Richard for my website though :-)

Thanks, I will contact you this afternoon (I am busy until about 2pm). The system is RedHat Linux.

I will be in a pub in Nottingham this afternoon and not much help. Sunday should be better.

Which version of RedHat? I have Fedora Core 4 on a couple of machines. Presumably you mean Enterprise - the "professional" one?
