I’ve been trying to build subversion (on a limited account) for a long time but without any luck 🙁

The instructions I’m following: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Subversion_Installation

Running this:

./configure --prefix=${RUN} --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl --with-zlib --enable-shared

Gives me this error:

checking for library containing RSA_new... not found configure: error: could not find library containing RSA_new configure failed for neon

Can someone explain to me:

  1. Possible reasons for this
  2. Possible ways to circumvent it
  3. Optional: What these modules are and what their purpose is (Neon/RSA_new)

Thanks!

Log file contents:

Trying to find interesting bits from the neon config.log file:

configure:27693: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  >&5 /tmp/ccazXdJz.o: In function `main': /home/stpinst/soft/subversion-1.5.4/neon/conftest.c:93: undefined reference to `RSA_new' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:27699: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: ... | int | main () | { | RSA_new(); |   ; |   return 0; | } configure:27742: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  -lcrypto  -lz >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:27748: $? = 1
