Hello Tom,

Thank you for your reply. Please see below.

in configure, line 2198, this happens:
# Assume system is ELF if it predefines __ELF__ as 1,
# otherwise believe host_os based default.
case $host_os in
freebsd1*|freebsd2*) elf=yes;;
esac

Since $host_os is being picked up as freebsd2.2.8, this makes elf default.
It would seem to me (unless elf=yes is needed for another reason) that it
should be setting elf=no instead in these cases.

However, when I try compiling with elf=no in configure, this happens:

I've got the following (having installed openssl-0.9.6b):
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 60614 Aug 2 22:49 /usr/local/include/openssl/ssl.h

-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 163840 Aug 2 22:49 /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.2

I am attaching the config.status file generated by the last run-through.

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
