I checked with the HIPL developer and got:

 >HIPL checks during ./configure if ECC is missing from OpenSSL and 
disables all ECC code if it is unuvailable.

So I am checking more into this.  What is ./configure actually doing to 
check if ECC is present or not?  Was there something wrong with my 
install, and I need to install again?  That is is there a test I can do 
directly against my OpenSSL to determine if NOW I have ECC and did not 
have something right at that time?

thanks all for any help
