Hello all, read the archive back about a years or so, no joy on this 
subject. Trying to install an rpm on SuSE 9.2 called 
cpqarrayd-2.0-1.i386.rpm which is supposed to get messages from my Compaq 
smartarray-2P / SmartArray 3200 SCSI raid controller and log them.

I also have cpqarrayd-2.0-1.src.rpm  and cpqarrayd-2.0.tar.gz but haven't 
tried to use them yet.

When I try to install it, it barks at me about a lib:
rpm -Uvh cpqarrayd-2.0-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.2 is needed by cpqarrayd-2.0-1

I know little about libs and dependencies. I tries to use yast to get this 
lib-- no joy. I tried to search for it, not found. I added "provides" and 
behold, openssl provides libcrypto, but it's version 0.9.7 and in SuSE its 
in /usr/lib and I suspect that's not where the package is looking for it.

I have no clue how to tell it where to find it. Trying to trick the 
install, I made a sym link to the 0.9.7 called libcrypto.so.2 in /usr/lib

Then I ran ldconfig (because someone else suggested it, not because I 
understand why) and even rehash.

Rerunning rpm results in the same message as before.

What should I try next?
