Different systems do this in different ways and I'm not real familiar with how Solaris does it. The ideal thing to my mind is to embed a linker search path in libssl.so so that its dependencies can be found reliably, but I am not sure whether or how Solaris can do that. It may be that the reason Apache works is that it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH or some such environment variable that the dynamic linker pays attention to. I can't say that I find that a reliable or secure way to fix it, though. regards, tom lane
