1238	OpenSSL man pages problems	lizardo@…	blfs-book@…	"Just found another two manpages that OpenSSL overwrites: 
 
err.3, rand.3 - installed by Man-pages 
 
Note that the conflicted manpages installed by OpenSSL and Man-pages are 
totally unrelated. E.g: 
 
This is the synopsis of OpenSSL's err.3 manpage: 
 
### 
NAME 
       openssl_err - error codes 
 
SYNOPSIS 
        #include <openssl/err.h> 
 
        unsigned long ERR_get_error(void); 
        unsigned long ERR_peek_error(void); 
        unsigned long ERR_get_error_line(const char **file, int *line); 
... 
### 
 
and that's from man-pages' err.3: 
 
### 
NAME 
     err, verr, errx, verrx, warn, vwarn, warnx, vwarnx, -- formatted error 
messages 
 
SYNOPSIS 
     #include <err.h> 
 
     void 
     err(int eval, const char *fmt, ...); 
 
     void 
     errx(int eval, const char *fmt, ...); 
...

Additionally, except for passwd.1, the current instructions don't fix the 
references to the old names _inside_ the man pages. the sed commands to fix 
this are not trivial, so I suggest using a patch in this case. The patch below 
also fixes syntax errors found on some POD files. 
 
If you plan to use the patch, the instructions can be simplified to: 
 
patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-0.9.7e-fix_manpages-1.patch && 
./config --openssldir=/etc/ssl --prefix=/usr shared && 
sed -i '/SHLIBDIRS=/s/fips//' Makefile && 
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man 
 
make MANDIR=/usr/share/man install && 
cp -r certs /etc/ssl 
 
I've also taken the liberty to simplify the fips sed command :-) 
 
Here's the patch URL: 
http://linuxfromscratch.org/~lizardo/patches/openssl-0.9.7e-fix_manpages-1.patch 
 
It'll soon be on the Patches repo."	defect	closed	high		BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
