Hi Naresh,

XORP uses the crypto functions from OpenSSL's libcrypto library.
libcrypto should be added to each SCons environment that is used 
to build/link an executable that uses libxipc.  As far as I can
tell, this is only currently done in libproto.

We may have missed this because many systems now have MD5 functions
with the same API/ABI in libc as well.

You may be in the best position to find out where this is needed.
If you are able to fix the problem for your system, please send
the patch to us and we'll try to integrate it.
