Sorry?

I didn't say that it violated a standard, merely that it had changed. A
number of things break between major revisions of RedHat and other
distros, this is to be expected. They are not even expected to be binary
compatible. GCC versions change (RH is on GCC 3.x now, I believe)...

However, with regard to Pine, this means that the configuration that is
fixed in the build scripts for 7.x will probably not work with RH9.x...
because RH9.x adheres more strictly TO standards, ironically.

I don't see what was negative about my post nor why you took umbrage to
it, I'm just trying to help the person who is unable to compile.

Regards,

Maybe SSL isn't installed on the machine that won't compile it, or the
libs are not being "found" somehow, I don't know.

Maybe the original poster could confirm that he has the SSL libraries
installed (not just SSL applications, but the headers and stuff)?
