Error compiling v0.6.0 with with gcc 4.2.1 (OSX) and OpenSSL 1.0.0e

Hi,

I'm have a build error on OSX.

$ ./configure --openssl-includes=/opt/local/include/openssl/

This is the build error:

Compilation works fine without OpenSSL Support.

Does it work when you run this?

make distclean
./configure --openssl-includes=/opt/local/include
make

[pixeldrew]

Yep, that did the trick.

--openssl-includes=OPENSSL_INCLUDES
A directory to search for the OpenSSL includes

Perhaps the config help info should be updated to reflect that it needs the root includes directory or there should be a test in the configure to see if the include dir is correct.

[bnoordhuis]

We do have a check in our wscript file but it gets confused if you feed it a) a bad --openssl-includes path and b) the default include path contains openssl headers - because it does find openssl headers, just not the right ones.

Oh, and in this case the bad path made it include openssl/err.h instead of the system err.h (which apart from the file name are completely unrelated).

[pixeldrew]

Ah, I see what happened. My mistake, I should of read that build log a little closer.
