NRPE-2.12 on VMWare ESX Server 3.5

[Lorand S. D'Caltan]

Thanks for the suggestion, I get the same error though.

And here's something even more strange, even though I've installed OpenSSL, those two files were not present in /usr anywhere.

I copied them from another server to /usr/local/ssl/lib but it still errors

find /usr -name libcrypto.so
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so
find /usr -name libssl.so
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so

Am I missing anything?

Try setting environment variables CFLAGS="-L /path/to/ssl/libs" and
LD_FLAGS="-L /path/to/ssl/libs -R /path/to/ssl/libs".

Eg. (all in single line)

env CFLAGS="-L /usr/local/ssl/lib" LD_FLAGS="-L /usr/local/ssl/lib -R
/usr/local/ssl/lib" ./configure (other configure parameters)

You can find the path to openssl libs by searching for libssl.so or
libcrypto.so (find /usr -name libssl.so)
