My notes from 3.0 beta include this step to verify that I got --openssldir configured correctly. $ util/shlib_wrap.sh ./apps/openssl version -d Now it says: FATAL: Startup failure (dev note: apps_startup()) for ./apps/openssl 40772751647F0000:error:030000A9:digital envelope routines:alg_module_init:unkno wn option:crypto/evp/evp_cnf.c:61:name=rh-allow-sha1-signatures, value=yes 40772751647F0000:error:0700006D:configuration file routines:module_run:module initialization error:crypto/conf/conf_mod.c:270:module=alg_section, value=evp_properties retcode=-1 Did this area change from 3.0 to 3.1? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
