While we build neon 0.27.2 in Debian Etch with ssl support we get the following error message and the configure script fails.

checking for library containing RSA_new... not found
configure: error: could not find library containing RSA_new

In order to overcome this install the following:

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

The above will install all the development headers of ssl and we can use "--with-ssl" in the configure script to build neon.

Some of the packages needed to build neon in Debian etch are:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

Last week thursday ie., 20-12-2007, I met with an accident near Velachery Rathna Cafe hotel, while I was returning home from work. I escaped with some scratches on my palm and legs. This is the third time something like this is happening after I ve come to Chennai within 3 months time, out of which this time the scratches were a bit big.

I am driving bikes for the past 10 years nearly, but haven't met with even a single accident or like in the past! I even have experiences driving with high speeds in the TamilNadu National Highways, and lots of non-stop long journey's. In the past I had a very old Bajaj Chetak (older than me) which thought me most of the intricacies of driving. I am having my bike TVS Max 100R from my second year of college, and this is one of the most precious things I value in my life. This bike had seen all the places where I ve stayed more than a weeks time, except Bangalore. Now am forced to give away this bike :( because of my parents and well wishers.
