Thank you very much. While with the addition of $BLIBPATH did not work with v3.9p1, it DID WORK with v5.2p1. Is an sshd daemon supposed to be running? Running ssh at the cl simply returns its' help. -----Original Message----- From: Darren Tucker [mailto:dtucker@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2009 6:45 PM To: rfransix@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: secureshell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: openssh make FAILS, any idea, here's the error text Richard Francis wrote: > Hi, this is on an aix v4.3 server. openssl and zlib installed fine, > but i get a zlib error???

It looks like you have a dynamic zlib that's not in the standard library paths. You need to specify a blibpath to include the directory where zlib lives. This is described in README.platform: If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \ --with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware Also, 3.9p1 is quite old, you might want to use the current version (5.2p1). -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
