i sleep for one night and all this happens ( 2 pages worth ) ... hehehe ...
@drays ... i know ubuntu is the more widely used now - and also know that these things in the code are required ...
BUT - the fact that centos IS the os thats being used AND that without redhat based compilation will mean that users and redhat professionals will be REQUIRED to move to a debian based os is not a good thing ... the wider the distribution - the better ...
btw - kudos on the compilation ... as ive mentioned earlier - on ubuntu - it does have a more mature openssl implementation that redhat based systems due to the thickheadedness ( yes - i made that word up ) of redhat legal team ... so under ubuntu ( or almost any debian based os ) it is a more straightforward compile ...
that is not what my issue is ... redhat is STILL the number one os used in corporates and businesses worldwide - which means if a compiled system runs in it - there will be a much wider use than 'just' the crypto and 'hobby' users ... and that is more the goal of the larger picture ...
you have done an awesome job though with the debian compile - dynamic build im guessing? ... is it os / gcc specific if that is the case? ...
and tanx so much for sharing the code changes - but the paths are only a part of the issue in redhat based systems unfortunately mate ...
which does frustrate me ... a little ... :| ...

Sure, Redhat/Centos version will be much more tricky to build. Centos conservativeness (or thickheadedness, as you say it ), is a nice thing in general, as it keeps things stable, but also often annoying. Corporate business world prefer stability over everything, so it the behaviour of Centos developers, I guess.
And yes, I linked it dynamically (to make the executable smaller sized), so there might be OS or system libs issues (no gcc specific issue possible there though), but lets see what people say: if anyone complains, we could build the big fat static version
