konqueror doesnot allow https website

Beginner

I am running kde 3.2 compiled from source on suse linux 9. I am having problem with running konqueror brwser for "https" protocol based sites. I guess this is a problem with my ssl. I have openssl v. 0.9.7b April 2003. Is this a problem?? What should I do to to make konqueror working normally? Should I upgrade my open ssl and then reinstall konqueror? Also with kde distribution which package carries konqueror if in case i need to reinstall just that. I am bit new to konqueror.

Thank you.

What kind of problem are u facing?. Are u not able to open any https sites? U have to be more specific with what exactly is the problem.
kde recommends ssl version above 0.9.6 so u have the proper version installed. konqueror is present in kdelibs and kdebase modules. U have to recompile both if there seems to be a problem. First check if you compiled kdelibs and kdebase with ssl ( see if there is a ioslave for https )

apperantly it didnot compile with ssl

I realize now that for some reason when I compiled and installed kde3.2 it did not detect my openssl, though it was there only. Now because of that none of the application which require secure ssl connection doesn't work i guess. So does konqueror, it does not allow me to visit (open) any https sites, but it does allow me visit plain http sites. It tells me that "Protocol https is not supported." I don't understand why it did not find openssl, as I have got latest version.

I compiled and installed everything using konstruct, /kde/make install; command and I did not provide any other parameters. Was that a problem??
I also checked my kde installation in /include/kio/ directory and there was no slave for https. Now how do I go here onwards?

Thank you very much for your response.

The first thing to do is check for devel rpms of openssl. Distributions usually separate a package into normal executable/libs and development stuff such as include files etc. Without the include files configure command will not recognise that ssl is present and thus not compile the ssl stuff. exec '/sbin/ldconfig -p|grep libssl.so' u sould a get output such as 'libssl.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libssl.so'. If you don't get anything like that. It means devel rpm , on my fedora system it is openssl-devel is not present u have to install the rpm and then compile kde.
If you don't want to go thro the hassle of compiling kde get it from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2 or use a kde mirror.

It worked

Thank you very much. It worked. I installed openssl-devel and then recompiled and installed everything. And it looks working fine as of now.

I have another problem with installation of kdevelp 3.0, but I am posting it as different post.

Thank you.
