Are there different OpenSSL versions installed on these systems? Could you try one of the Broccoli test programs in aux/broccoli/test to see if the problem occurs without the Python bindings as well? Robin ---

The test scripts fail on FreeBSD. The pybroccoli from svn also generates the same error on FreeBSD. > Robin --mel ---

That's good to know, thanks! Not sure what the underlying problem is but we'll see if we can find something. Robin ---

We have identified the cause of the problem. On FreeBSD 7, the libtool script we include in the Broccoli tree does not correctly create a .so symlink in the local build directory. This causes the Python module to be statically linked against Broccli, which in turn causes the additional dependencies of libssl and libcrypto to remain unresolved at runtime. For the time being, re-running autogen.sh in aux/broccoli is the correct workaround. Alternatively you can apply this patch to aux/broccoli/bindings/python/setup.py: --- setup.py~ 2008-07-14 19:17:59.000000000 -0400 +++ setup.py 2008-10-21 19:55:53.000000000 -0400 @@ -14,6 +14,6 @@      ext\_modules = [          Extension("\_broccoli\_intern", ["broccoli\_intern\_wrap.c"],                    library\_dirs=["../../src/.libs"], - libraries=["broccoli"])] + libraries=["broccoli", "ssl", "crypto"])] ) We'll fix the issue in the 1.4.1 release. ---
