I am packaging httrack, which has the following snippet:
/* We are compatible with 0.9.6/7/8 and potentially above */
handle = dlopen("libssl.so.0.9.8", RTLD_LAZY);
if (handle == NULL) {
handle = dlopen("libssl.so.0.9.7", RTLD_LAZY);
}
if (handle == NULL) {
handle = dlopen("libssl.so.0.9.6", RTLD_LAZY);
}
if (handle == NULL) {
/* Try harder */
handle = dlopen("libssl.so", RTLD_LAZY);
}
if (handle == NULL) {
/* Try harder */
handle = dlopen("libssl.so.0", RTLD_LAZY);
Are libssl.so.0.9.8 and libssl.so.9.8b compatible? Can I patch the
source to use libssl.so.9.8b?
Is there any reason not to patch the source to simply link against
libssl instead ?
