[Slackbuilds-users] /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available

[Audrius Kažukauskas]

Hi,

New version of PyPy just got released, and seeing that the binaries do
not depend on (incompatible with Slackware) libffi anymore, I decided to
repackage them instead of building from source (which takes lots of time
and RAM).

I tested pypy with some code of mine, it worked great except one thing:
whenever I invoke pypy executable, I get the following warnings in
stderr:

  ./pypy: /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available
  (required by ./pypy)
  ./pypy: /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available
  (required by ./pypy)

Running ldd -v ./pypy shows:

  libssl.so.0.9.8 => /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xf76cd000)
  libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xf7587000)

and in version information section:

  libssl.so.0.9.8 (OPENSSL_0.9.8) => not found
  libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (OPENSSL_0.9.8) => not found

I recalled reading a discussion on some mailing list (can't find a link
to archives though) where it was explained that this is what happens
when you use something built against OpenSSL from Debian on a different
system.  Wanting to be sure, I checked Debian source package for openssl
and indeed found a patch where they add

  $shared_ldflag .= " -Wl,--version-script=openssl.ld";

line to Configure script and create openssl.ld file containing

  OPENSSL_0.9.8 {
          global:
                  *;
  };

So, I am quite confident that PyPy was built using Debian (or
derivative) system.

Now, the real questions: is it safe to use such binary on Slackware?  If
yes, is it possible to suppress these warnings?
