Ok, I looked at the code. It looks like the rsaref_stubs.c getsym() is being called, which doesn't even try to open the INTL lib. As far as I can see libcrypto is being built with rsa_stubs.c so how come the other getsym() is being called!

I've explained it all N>>1 times :-) The mail archive isn't returning any results at all for 2000, I'd already tried looking there :-) Paul.
