Hi again,

You must have to specify the location to the OpenSSL include / lib 
files, check the configure options.


Remember though, once you have solved the problems of getting the 
server compiled with ssl - you only have to worry about the mysql 
client.


Can I ask - how are you intending to use this ssl connection ?  Is it 
for a web site on the same server?  Another client on the network ?  
Another client on the internet ?

The reason I ask - I have seen nothing but problems with getting 
mysql-ssl working,   I ended up just using a secure tunnel - took 
about five minutes to set up.




Regards

Ian
