Is there an IF statement missing in configure?

Line 19408 specifies that RSAglue and rsaref libraries should be used without verifying whether they are needed.

LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -lRSAglue -lrsaref $LIBS"

Changing this to check for rsaref would stop configure failing when using the newer versions of OpenSSL that no longer support rsaref.

Apologies, I didn't add the configure command and output. The static libraries are present in the included directory specified in the configure command.

Hi,

First off I have tried searching the net about this and all I find is that OpenSSL has to be built with shared libraries. However I have a need to use static OpenSSL libraries for supportability purposes (avoid conflicts with the older system version and for portability across hosts).

Is it really not possible to do this? If not, and out of interest, what's the rationale?

Thanks in advance.
