Openssl0.9.7i on Solaris 9 - "fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such"

807559Jan 25 2006 — edited Jan 27 2006
I'm trying to compile OpenSSL 0.9.7i onto a Solaris 9 box here. When I try to run the binary, I get the following error:
$ /apps/ssl/bin/openssl
ld.so.1: /apps/ssl/bin/openssl: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed
Compile, make, make test, & make install all run fine without errors. I used a pretty straightforward set of buildflags. I'm installing to /apps/ssl
./Configure --prefix=/apps/ssl --openssldir=/apps/ssl no-threads zlib-dynamic solaris-sparcv9-gcc
However, when I try to run openssl I get an error:
$ /apps/ssl/bin/openssl
ld.so.1: /apps/ssl/bin/openssl: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file or directory
I'm confused, because the libraries clearly ARE where I specified:
$ ls /apps/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/apps/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
It's just that OpenSSL doesn't know about the location of these libraries:
$ ldd /apps/ssl/bin/openssl
        libssl.so.0.9.7 =>       (file not found)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.7 =>    (file not found)
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

I can workaround this error by setting the LD_LIBRARY PATH:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/apps/ssl/lib:/usr/local/lib

$ ldd /apps/ssl/bin/openssl libssl.so.0.9.7 => /apps/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /apps/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

$ /apps/ssl/bin/openssl
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005
OpenSSL>

But I'd prefer not to use some roundabout way to refer to these libraries. How can I get this to work without using LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

I appreciate any help,
