[racket-dev] SSL problem with the webserver?

libssl3.so and libssl.so.etc are not the same kind of thing.

On Ubuntu, libssl3 is from libnss3, the Network Security Services
package. libssl.so.0.9.8 is from libssl0.9.8, the OpenSSL package.

On my system, I can easily tell these apart...

jay at theatre:/usr/lib$ ls -l *ssl*so*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 230072 2011-04-20 10:04 libssl3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     10 2011-07-11 22:20 libssl3.so.1d -> libssl3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 2011-07-11 22:37 libssl.so.0.9.8 ->
/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
jay at theatre:/usr/lib$ nm -D libssl3.so | grep client
jay at theatre:/usr/lib$ nm -D libssl.so.0.9.8 | grep client_method
000000000002c480 T DTLSv1_client_method
0000000000026df0 T SSLv23_client_method
0000000000014ae0 T SSLv2_client_method
000000000001bdd0 T SSLv3_client_method
0000000000027230 T TLSv1_client_method
jay at theatre:/usr/lib$

You should look for libssl.so on your system (perhaps in /lib, like
mine). Check the symbols (using nm -D as above). Or just make sure
libssl0.9.8 is installed.

Let me know what else I can do if this is confusing or doesn't work,
