This is a quick note about an error in SSLeay-0.5.1b testing environment. The error manifests itself as testing req conversions p -> d p -> p d -> d p -> d d -> p p -> p fff.p f.p differ: char 46, line 2 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `tests' and is caused because the format of the 'certificate request' was modifed but the test case was not. So you can either cp fff.p f.p or copy the following into test/testreq.pem -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIBPTCB6AIBADCBhDELMAkGA1UEBhMCQVUxEzARBgNVBAgTClF1ZWVuc2xhbmQx ETAPBgNVBAcTCEJyaXNiYW5lMRcwFQYDVQQKEw5NaW5jb20gUHR5IEx0ZDETMBEG A1UEAxMKRXJpYyBZb3VuZzEfMB0GCSqGSIb3DQEJARYQZWF5QG1pbmNvbS5vei5h dTBcMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA0sAMEgCQQCaClKKt8IW36/89NsF079jHXleXpXA Z7e8DXkQdCaYx7hC3zOr1Ur+t4lwlZc5PeolWdnsrhwkEit8sP9hYiYHAgMBAAEw DQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQADQQBxPYfBcO8QMRvIb9MG0XUsGNBFvRKDPlPP663ykc8n MQ1bx3wpj/HcMPhTozFUS8FJtp5VEz77+ioWW0qrKxdC -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- Why don't I just fix the problem and put out SSLeay-0.5.1c? Well I intend to get out SSLeay-0.5.2 that fixes some other bugs very soon now and I don't want people to have to keep on down loading new versions. eric 10-Apr-1996 .
