Compiling Net::SSLeay on HPUX

Is SSL currently residing in /usr/local/ssl?

I know in many systems it has been moved to /usr (as the base,
bin/openssl include/ssl/ etc..)  This is why SSLeay wouldn't compile
for me.  It couldn't actually find the files.  I just got an HP box
here at work to play with, maybe next week I'll be able to try the
same thing.

If SSL is in /usr/local/ssl, then you may need to add the path to the
libs to your linker configuration.  (in linux for example add the
path to /etc/ld.so.conf) And then run ldconfig or the equivalent in
HP-UX.  If you haven't got it working by next week I'll be able to
help more then.

Does anyone know what kind of error this is?

I've wanted to get Webmin running on these bad boy HP's that I work
with
running through https.  So far I've had to grab and compile perl, gcc
and
binutils (for the two boxes that don't have an ansi C compiler),
Openssl,
and webmin.  Everything works right now except Net::SSLeay so
connections
to webmin are are limited with http.  Openssl compiled fine.  I've
even
got OpenSSH working so I know Openssl is good.  Why Net::SSLeay craps
out
on the linker is the only stumbling block I have left.  Any ideas?

Don
