>What platform are you building? Is it a native or cross compile? >You'd get that behaviour if fipsld isn't linking the binaries properly. Thanks Steve. I am on centos 6, native compile. I saw " /libcrypto.so is not cross-compiler aware." with fipsld linking until introducing -exe option to incore invocation. It builds fine with the modified fipsld but then I now have this run time error to deal with. TIA.
