Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] compiling on Alpha linux (RH 6.1)?

[Rajiv Prasad <rajiv prasad charter net>]

Thanks for the reply, Damien.  I checked configure.in, and it turns out
that the test is for ostype "linux" while on my Alpha $OSTYPE is set to
"Linux".  So I modified the test to include "Linux", and configure
proceeds from there.  But now it is complaining about not being able to
find openssl headers, despite the option
--with-openssl-includes=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl specified on the
command line.  And ssl *is* intalled in /usr/local/ssl.

Here's the output from configure:

/home/rajiv/software/srcs/GnomeMeeting-0.84.0
[rajiv ts46-01-qdr1065 GnomeMeeting-0.84.0]$ ./configure

Appreciate any help.
