[Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

[Jewel Makda]

I am not able to determine where the SSL headers are on my system.  The 
apt-file command doesn't work saying I need to install it yet when I try 
it says the package doesn't exist. I have tried to run the ./configure 
command using the following paths to point to where I think the ssl 
headers are but I always get an error when I run make and make install.

Paths I have used in my ./configure command:
/etc/ssl
/usr/include/openssl
/usr/lib/ssl/misc
/usr/local
/usr/src
/usr/lib

The errors I am getting are:
undefined reference to 'SSLv2_client_method'
make[1]: *** [xymonnet] Error 1
make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2

I have to run the ./configure command with paths to the pcreinclude and 
pcrelib or else it won't find them - same for the OpenSSL.

I am worried I might mess up my current setup since Xymon is working 
well running on SSL.  It just not able to monitor other https sites.

If you can't su to root then most likely you WILL need to provide the path to the SSL goodies.  You will need to see where the libraries and include files are installed.  Usually /usr/local/ssl, might be /usr/local/openssl on your system.  Use whatever tools you have to find the install location for these packages and add the flags as needed.
