try something like:
Code: [Select]
export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/bin/openssl"
x11vnc

Yeah that's a good idea. I wonder if this should be added to the openssl startup script?

No, that should be done if needed on an extension by extension basis.  And it would be done if needed by a wrapper script for the extension.  Installing openssl into a directory that is not in $PATH is normal, and many programs will recognize an openssl not installed into $PATH.  For those that don't, a wrapper script can be used.

OK that makes sense.
So the x11vnc.tcz extension should be remade with a wrapper script.

the x11vnc extension does have a wrapper script. The script is x11vnc in /usr/local/bin, this is the script:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8k/lib
/usr/local/bin/x11vnc-bin "$@"

I haven't had trouble before using this kind of script before  between the 0.9.8h and 0.9.8k openssl extensions.
I can add a PATH adjustment to the wrapper if that will clear this bug up.

It would also be nice to have a start,stop restart capability like dropbear and samba services. The start command would of course have to include the "use the configuration file option".

I'll look into this but I don't have the time at the moment to get this done. I may later this week.

Noting the wrapper script in the .info might be helpful.
