[These instructions are for Red Hat 9 and jabber-1.4.2 source]

The latest jabber server fails to compile on RH9. The following is howto make it work:

In /usr/lib make create these symlinks (if not there already):
libcrypto.so -> ../../lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a
libcrypto.so.2 -> ../../lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a

libssl.so -> ../../lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a
libssl.so.2 -> ../../lib/libssl.so.0.9.7a

Then run:
./configure —enable-ssl

Edit the platform-settings file in the jabber package to include the kerberos include dir. Append
-I/usr/kerberos/include
to the end of the CFLAGS and CCFLAGS lines.

Then, just follow the jabber documentation to compile/install:
make
edit .xml file
