In general, I think there is quite a bit of confusion between the system NSS (Name Switch Service - man nss - e.g. /etc/nsswitch.conf) used for naming services (hosts, passwd, etc.) and Mozilla NSS (Network Security Services) used for cryptographic services. In the interest of sanity, I will refer to Mozilla NSS as moznss. It's also incorrect because you specify both -with-nss-inc and --wth-nss-lib you must not also specify --with-nss. It's also incorrect because the values for --with-XXX= should be a _path name_ not a _file name_. --with-nss and --with-nspr take the _path name_ of a directory. This directory should contain a "lib" sub directory containing the shared libraries, and should contain an "include" directory containing the .h files. Since this may not always be the case that the lib and include sub-directories are in the same parent directory, separate --with-nss-inc and --with-nss-lib switches were added to give you more fine grained control. > > /usr/include/ contains nss.h - correct option?
