[rescue] istatserverlinux part - Re: problems compiling istatd and/or Bjango istatserverlinux on Solaris 11.3

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Jonathan,

OK, here is the default output from Solaris 11.3.  Seems it ships with 1.0.1.p

===============================================
/usr/local/src/i/istatd-0.5.8 603 # openssl version

OpenSSL 1.0.1p 9 Jul 2015

/usr/local/src/i/istatd-0.5.8 604 #

===============================================

Not sure how to determine if elliptic curve cryptography has been disabled.  Will need to read up on that on.

It seems that if I understand your comments correctly, a compile of a current OpenSSL, then pointing my compile towards that 
installation, should fix my compile issue of the Bjango istatserverlinux, or, minimally, get me to the next issue.

Thank you for the reply,

Jerry
