If you look into the documentationa at:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#unix

you will see that for Linux (as well asl MacOS) you need the libssl-dev packaged to be installed. There are many ways to install this on MacOS, I personally use the MacPorts distribution:

https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=openssl

Best regards,

Oops!

I think that I must have skipped straight to the MacOS notes instead of reading the linux section properly.

Thanks for the help,

Well, the MacOS section explicitly mentions the MacPorts installation.

I responded too quickly.

I already have openssl installed via macports (this is the "Mac version" of libssl-dev).

Does anyone know where exactly elog is looking for openssl/ssl.h? I have just updated Macports and upgraded to Sierra, so maybe it's been dumped it in a different location.

My macports puts it under

/opt/local/include/openssl/ssl.h

On Sierra Macports install openssl in /opt/local/include/ , but copy it into /usr/local/include. You should able to fix it.

sudo cp -r /opt/local/include/openssl /usr/local/include/

Hello,

I'm facing with a crash, which happen when I sort the entries by a datetime attribute (sort or rsort) and then i change the display mode from Full, Summary and Threaded.

For example, the elogd crashes when I try to connect from the Full display to Summary in sort mode. The issue presents for example by entering with the following URL:

http://host.name.com:8080/65+nm/?mode=summary&sort=Record+date

Can you please help me?

Here I reduced my elogd.cfg at minimum and I still get this issue:

[global]
port = 8080

[65 nm]
Attributes = Record date

Type Record date = datetime
Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date
Start page = ?sort=Record date

On Sierre, /opt/local/include should be already included in the standar search path of the prprocessor:
