CMS_encrypt with ECDH key

[vqurius@xxxxxxxxx (Q Rius)]

I'm trying to implement CMS encrypt using ECDH keys. Ref openssl CMS with
ECDH EnvelopedData
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29280688/openssl-cms-with-ecdh-envelopeddata>
The command line works flawlessly but my program is giving an error -

Error Encrypting Data
140508524291744:error:2E06507D:CMS routines:CMS_add1_recipient_cert:not
supported for this key type:cms_env.c:210:

In code below, recip.pem was created using steps here openssl CMS with ECDH
EnvelopedData
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29280688/openssl-cms-with-ecdh-envelopeddata>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    CMS_ContentInfo *cms1 = NULL;
    BIO *in = NULL, *out = NULL, *tbio = NULL;
    X509 *rcert = NULL;
    int ret = 1;
    int flags = CMS_STREAM;

    OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
    ERR_load_crypto_strings();

    tbio = BIO_new_file("recip.pem", "r");
    if (!tbio)
        goto err;

    rcert = PEM_read_bio_X509(tbio, NULL, 0, NULL);
    if (!rcert)
        goto err;

    in = BIO_new_file("encr.txt", "r");
    flags |= CMS_PARTIAL;
    cms1 = CMS_encrypt(NULL, in, EVP_des_ede3_cbc(), flags);

    CMS_RecipientInfo *ri;
    ri = CMS_add1_recipient_cert(cms1, rcert, flags);
    if (!ri)
        goto err;

    if(!CMS_final(cms1, in, NULL, flags))
        goto err;

    if (!cms1)
        goto err;

    out = BIO_new_file("cms1.pem", "w");
    if(!out)
        goto err;

    if(!PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream(out, cms1, in, flags))
        goto err;

    ret = 0;

err:

    ##cleanup

}

The documentation states ECC keys are not supported yet the commandline cms
app is able to do it without a problem. I stepped through the cms app but
am unable to figure out what I'm doing differently. Also tried the
cms_enc.c from the demos folder but that does not handle ecc keys as well.

TIA!
