[Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

[Tim McCloskey]

Jewel, 

What version of linux are you running?  The openssl-devel package mentioned by Paul contains the files that are often missing when people run into this sort of issue.
The same thing happens when people don't install the various 'devel' packages.

Regards, 
Tim

Never leave the mailing list. Always reply all.

Yes, that is different.  We're talking Linux here. You don't specify, so we on the list are forced to guess.

The openssl Linux package is just the executable. You need header files, etc. to be able to compile things to use it.

I do have OpenSSL version 1.0.1 installed. Is this different?
