I am attempting to manually install OpenVPN 2.5.0 on a Raspberry Pi by following the procedure above but receive the following error when executing ./configure. The Raspberry Pi currently has version 2.4.9 installed.

checking additionally if OpenSSL is available and version >= 1.0.2... configure: error: OpenSSL version too old

Output of openssl version is

OpenSSL 1.1.1d  10 Sep 2019

Why is this process erroring out when the OpenSSL version installed should not be problematic?

You are attempting to compile openvpn

Thanks, I am relatively new to this, although I was successful in setting up and configuring OpenVPN 2.4.9.

Did you read INSTALL dot <something or other> ?

Yes, although admittedly I am working through this somewhat haphazardly as there are many parts of this that are brand new to me.

I was able to successfully complete all of the steps identified in the first post after installing the following packages:

Code: Select all

apt install libssl-dev liblzo2-dev libpam0g-dev

I am lost now though as to where any resulting files ended up and how to start it. When I reboot, my OpenVPN logs still show version 2.4.7 (my mistake in the original post, my current version is not 2.4.9).

The reason I am attempting to manually compile version 2.5.0 is because I receive the following error when running apt update indicating that ARM is not supported.

Code: Select all

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' as repository 'http://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/stable buster InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'armhf'
