I am interested in testing/understanding pound reverse proxy to see if it solves a problem we are experiencing. I am running RHEL 3 and I'm having problems installing. I have not been able to find a rpm for the application. I was able to find what I thought was a src rpm. I installed it and follow the instructions in in the readme. the ./configure seemed to work fine. When I ran make errors filled the screen buffer. I am very new to Linux and I have no idea what to do next to solve this problem. Can someone point me in the correct direction?

Here is the error messages

thanks in advance for any direction you can give me.

looks like you do not have openssl installed, as openssl/ssl.h was not found. if you're installing openssl from RPM, then you'll need openssl-devel too.

openssl is version 0.9.7a Feb 19,2003
