I was able to move past that issue with SSL. I installed the optional openssl11 packages then went in and modified src/naviserver/include/Makefile.global
and changed the following lines to reference the newer version.
OPENSSL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib64/openssl11 -lssl -lcrypto
CFLAGS += -I/usr/include/openssl11 -I/usr/include
I am in the process of trying to work through some Tcl errors but do not seem to be dealing with redirects under NS5 any more.
I will follow up with any other questions as I come across them. Thanks.
