Replying to myself.. Looking at the symbols in the openssl libraries found on a Ubuntu machine, I see what is going on: symbol name: X509_NAME_cmp@OPENSSL_0.9.8 vs X509_NAME_cmp This sounds like a great approach.. and should definitely resolve my problems I think. Are you sure both base and port needs to be patched? I would have assumed that patching only port would be sufficient (provided all tools depending on it are also recompiled) Jean-Yves
