Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] make failure with redhat 7.0.90 "fisher"

["Mike Cannon" <cannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I tried both:
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib
and
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/

The path to libcrypto.a was /usr/lib/libcrypto.a

Neither worked, same error.  How do you install the patch?  Just copy it
into the directory?

Since this is theoretically the next release of RedHat are you interested in
fixing the root problem?
