Compiling OpenVPN 2.4 on Linux Mint 18
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2017 8:35 am
Good day,
Linux Mint 18 came with OpenVPN 2.3. I need to update it to 2.4 in order to connect to a server.
Upon make, I receive the following:
g
Initially .configure demanded several dependencies to be installed most of which I got through apt-get. However, I had to compile and install the latest openssl which overwrote default one. Long story short, i think it was resolved following https://serverfault.com/questions/81844 ... pto-so-1-1.
Any suggestion as to why I receive the above error message?
Many thanks!
