I am unable to compile nginx with SSL support under CentOS 5.2 x86_64
currently.
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx --with-openssl=/usr/lib64
–with-md5=/usr/lib64 --with-sha1=/usr/lib64
–with-http_ssl_module
Configuration summary
- using system PCRE library
- using OpenSSL library: /usr/lib64
- using md5 library: /usr/lib64
- using sha1 library: /usr/lib64
- using system zlib library
nginx path prefix: “/opt/nginx”
nginx binary file: “/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx”
nginx configuration prefix: “/opt/nginx/conf”
nginx configuration file: “/opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf”
nginx pid file: “/opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid”
nginx error log file: “/opt/nginx/logs/error.log”
nginx http access log file: “/opt/nginx/logs/access.log”
nginx http client request body temporary files:
“/opt/nginx/client_body_temp”
nginx http proxy temporary files: “/opt/nginx/proxy_temp”
nginx http fastcgi temporary files: “/opt/nginx/fastcgi_temp”
During the make process it fails. I attached the output since its way
to long to paste.
Hello!

Configure options ‘–with-openssl’, ‘–with-md5’ and ‘–with-sha1’
define paths to appropriate library sources and should be
used only if you want to compile them with nginx itself. For
obvious reasons your configure string is wrong.
Use --with-cc-opt and --with-ld-opt instead as appropriate. Something
like this will probably do the trick:
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx
–with-ld-opt="-L /usr/lib64"
–with-http_ssl_module

I believe I had issues on RHEL 5.x myself, and I solved it by removing
the 32-bit libraries (most things I were compiling were confused
between the 64-bit and 32-bit and it wound up mixing the two,
resulting in compilation errors)
I wish they would work like Ubuntu which has made it pure 64-bit
without default installing 32-bit libs as well.
I never tried. It might have. I didn’t really have the patience to try
to figure out this stuff, I didn’t want to mess with this for each
daemon giving me hassle so I just removed the confusion

Does passing the “-m64” to gcc help (–with-cc-opt)? It clearly tells
gcc that you intend to make a64 bit elf object. That might be cleaner
than explicitly choosing all the lib64 paths.

nginx is available for Centos in the EPEL repository. It is currently
at 0.6.33
and will be update to 0.6.34 soon. You may need to enable the testing
repo.
EPEL/FAQ - Fedora Project Wiki
And then ‘yum install nginx’
enjoy,
