MySQL 5.0.23 and OpenSSL on Red Hat Linux

[Karin Werner]

Thought others may find this information useful.

I removed lines 39057 to 39065 from configure prior to installing
ie;
-------------------------------------------
if test -z "$OPENSSL_LIB" -o -z "$OPENSSL_INCLUDE" ; then
echo "Could not find an installation of OpenSSL"
if test -n "$OPENSSL_LIB" ; then
if test "$TARGET_LINUX" = "true"; then
echo "Looks like you've forgotten to install OpenSSL development RPM"
fi
fi
exit 1
fi
-------------------------------------------

I added to ./configure \
-------------------------------------
--with-openssl=/usr \
--with-openssl-includes=/usr/include/openssl \
--with-openssl-libs=/usr/lib \
------------------------------------

Since I installed OpenSSL from source and am using the most recent version, mysql coughs at not finding their choice in OpenSSL versions. I have found no problems with the build. No SSL issues. Curl, SSL or, MySQL. No Probs. So far....
