Hi,
I am running into a interesting issue with Dovecot.
I compiled Dovecot 2.0.7 with LD_RUN_PATH set to /xsys/lib and it was able to find and link against the correct OpenSSL libraries (/xsys/lib), the generated Makefile look OK.
Here is a snippet of the SSL cflags and libs.
SSL_CFLAGS = -I/xsys/include SSL_LIBS = -L/xsys/lib -lssl -lcrypto -ldl
After I compil, install and run Dovecot I get the following error.
ssl-params: Error: dovecot/ssl-params: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seems that Dovecot can't find the SSL libraries, even if I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. I always assume that the Dynamic Loaded (dl) library would pickup LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If I add /xsys/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and regenerate my /etc/ld.so.cache file, Dovecot works without any error messages.
Any ideas why SSL_CFLAGS, SSL_LIBS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH aren't been honored ?
