[linux] PHP w/OpenSSL Compilation Error

[Brian Haney]

Rohan,

I was wondering if your version was substantially different from mine 
(0.9.7a) which *has* evp.h.  I don't know if older versions omitted that 
file.  It sounds like your OpenSSL installation does not have the header 
files (or at least not all of them).

You can find the version of your current installation by entering

 	openssl version

What build error did you get?

Today, Rohan S. =) was quoted as saying:
