Hi Sindi,

Thx for reply. First I've tried now to configure openssh-3.9p1 by installing your minimum Openssl package. Additionally I've also copied libcrypto.a from the /lib directory  also to /usr/lib, usr/local/lib and /usr/local/ssl, but no result. I'm still getting the message :

configure:12868: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see config.log for details) ***

Any idea what is going on and where to look for? The log contains just the same sentence as above and has no further references to libcrypto at all. So, I'm stuck right now. I've tried also to configure openssh with the option --with-ssl-dir=/lib, containing the libcrypto, but it gives just the same result. Maybe it's time now to give dropbear a trial.   

Tot horens,

Willem

[btw, I´m really a newbie about compiling, never done it before till 2 days ago when I compiled and installed zlib and additionally did some follow-up trials...]
