OpenSSL - Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------------------
+* Which is the current version of OpenSSL?
* Where is the documentation?
* How can I contact the OpenSSL developers?
* Do I need patent licenses to use OpenSSL?
* Is OpenSSL thread-safe?
* Why do I get a "PRNG not seeded" error message?
+* Why does the linker complain about undefined symbols?
* Where can I get a compiled version of OpenSSL?
+* Which is the current version of OpenSSL?
+
+The current version is available from <URL: http://www.openssl.org>.
+OpenSSL 0.9.4 was released on August 9th, 1999.
+
+In addition to the current stable release, you can also access daily
+snapshots of the OpenSSL development version at <URL:
+ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/>, or get it by anonymous CVS access.
+
+
* Where is the documentation?
OpenSSL is a library that provides cryptographic functionality to
perform potentially insecure encryption.
+* Why does the linker complain about undefined symbols?
+
+Maybe the compilation was interruped, and make doesn't notice that
+something is missing. Run "make clean; make".
+
+If you used ./Configure instead of ./config, make sure that you
+selected the right target. File formats may differ slightly between
+OS versions (for example sparcv8/sparcv9, or a.out/elf).
+
+If that doesn't help, you may want to try using the current snapshot.
+If the problem persists, please submit a bug report.

* Where can I get a compiled version of OpenSSL?
Some applications that use OpenSSL are distributed in binary form.
