Bug 132967 – neon SSL support not working as non-root user

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Igor 2006-05-10 18:13:02 UTC]

I have neon-0.24.7 emerged with use flags "expat ssl zlib".   I have tried re-emerging it with no success.

as root user, if i run neon-config i get ssl[yes] as one of the features.
as normal user, however, i get ssl [no] 

this issue results in me getting "svn: SSL is not supported" when i try to use svn to check out a repository over https as a regular user (but not as root)

i have tried to track this permissions issue down using strace, but i can't figure out what exactly is not opening right.  i imagine emerging neon ought to give ssl support to non-root users as well...

Works fine here... We really need some debugging info. Also, emerge --info output missing.

[Comment 2 Igor 2006-05-11 08:16:48 UTC]

emerge info is below.  what kind of other info do you need?

Could you try out "which neon-config" as a user and as root?

[Comment 4 Igor 2006-05-11 13:09:30 UTC]

they are different - as user:
/usr/local/bin/neon-config
as superuser:
/usr/bin/neon-config

Closing INVALID, we never install anything into /usr/local - so your copy there is bogus.
