[PYTHON-CRYPTO] Problems building M2Crypto on CentOS running x86_64

[Bill]

Excellent ... that seems to have solved the last issue I was having.

So what I had to do to get it to build was to rebuild OpenSSL after running:

    ./config shared

Then I had to create a library path in /etc/ls.so.conf.d and 
run /sbin/ldconfig.

Now I can build it and import it.  When I run the tests I get a lot of errors 
'EEEEE ...' and then it segfaults.  I compared this to the Fedora 11 build 
and it also gets the errors, but doesn't segfault, it just hangs.

Anyhow it is a start and hopefully the functions I need are working.

PS:  To keep SELinux running I had to add the following command:

chcon -t 
textrel_shlib_t /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/M2Crypto/__m2crypto.so
