Attempting to upgrade libwww (actually tetex) saw error in HTSSL.c build: couldn't find ssl.h. Based on the research below, it appears that the stratego package creates /usr/include/ssl, and the openssl package puts its stuff in /usr/include/openssl, but the libwww package finds /usr/include/ssl first so it generates -I for that directory instead and therefore fails to find ssl.h. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u openssl 2. emerge -u stratego 3. emerge -u libwww # emerge -up tetex These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Remove the stratego ebuild 2.

Create a link from /usr/local/include/openssl to /usr/include/openssl. 3. Change the order in the above configure.in to check for the /usr/include/openssl directory before the /usr/include/ssl directory. 4. Replace the contents of libwww's configure.in (original above) to the following to be more explicit: ... for ssldir in /usr/local/ssl/include \ /usr/local/openssl/include \ /usr/include/ssl \ /usr/include/openssl ; do if test -d $ssldir -a -f $ssldir/ssl.h; then sslinc="-I$ssldir" fi done ... Option #4 above is suggested as the fix for this bug.

I took the solution #4 and committed (it actually solved the bug). Your comment is very informative and helped me a lot. Thanks for reporting.
