Been trying to debug stunnel issues for stunnel-4.09 on Solaris 2.8. When in trouble I resort to reading documentation. It is now that I notice these two small lines in the begining of the document called INSTALL: 1. If your machine supports POSIX threads make sure your SSL library is compiled with -DTHREADS. I did not do this .... ( verify openssl is compiled with -DTHREADS). WHat is the result of not compiling openssl with THREADS? Also what version of openssl is recommended. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.6m . Thanks in advance, Liz
