Compilation Error: "invalid use of incomplete type ‘RSA {aka struct rsa_st}’"

[James-ZHANG]

Hello, first thanks for developing this MPC project.
I followed the compilation instruction but the make step failed with a bunch of "incomplete type" errors. The first such error looks like the following:

In file included from /usr/include/openssl/crypto.h:31:0,
                 from /usr/include/openssl/bio.h:20,
                 from /usr/include/openssl/asn1.h:16,
                 from /usr/include/openssl/rsa.h:16,
                 from /home/yzhangad/workspace/TinyGarble/crypto/OT.h:23,
                 from /home/yzhangad/workspace/TinyGarble/crypto/OT.cpp:19:
/usr/include/openssl/ossl_typ.h:110:16: note: forward declaration of ‘RSA {aka struct rsa_st}’
 typedef struct rsa_st RSA;
                ^

/home/yzhangad/workspace/TinyGarble/crypto/OT.cpp:50:27: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘RSA {aka struct rsa_st}’
   CHECK(SendBN(connfd, rsa->e));

The ./configure output looks like this:

-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++ -- works
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info

-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   program_options
-- Found OpenSSL: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so (found version "1.1.0g")

My OS is ubuntu 16.04 and the CPU architecture is x86_64.
Any feedback will be appreciated.

Hi, I have the exact same problem. Have you found a fix?

Thanks

Here is the error log.

This seems to be a OpenSSL 1.1.x compatibility issue. Please try it with OpenSSL 1.0.x while I am working on the compatibility issue.

Hi, now there is new error, there are many undefined references when I run make. Urgent, please help.

[spartucus]

Hi @quinamatics , have you try to remove all bin directory after install new openssl, and configure again? I met same error with you, and I solve the problem with above tricks.

[siamumar]

Please try with the current version. It should work with opnessl 1.1.1 now.
