Comment 1 Joe Orton 2002-11-28 14:57:47 UTC

I can't reproduce this.  What does "modified des.h file in OpenSSL to install
SSLeay" mean?  You have recompiled the RPMs?

Comment 2 Jay Hodges 2002-11-29 15:10:17 UTC

During the complie of SSLeay from source, there is an error and one line in 
des.h needs to be commented out for SSLeay to install properly.  No RPM's were 
rebuilt.

/usr/include/openssl/des.h Line 193

Comment 3 Joe Orton 2005-01-25 16:47:37 UTC

Thanks for the report.  This is a mass bug update; since this release
of Red Hat Linux is no longer supported, please either:

a) try and reproduce the bug with a supported version of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core, and re-open this bug as appropriate
after changing the Product field, or,

b) if relevant, try and reproduce this bug using the current version
of the upstream package, and report the bug upstream.

c) report the bug to the Fedora Legacy project who may wish to
continue maintenance of this package.
