 	Now I am confused ,  There is a .h file with the necessary symbol 
definition on my system & configure did not use that include file obviously .
 	Unless there is something in the ld commands that forces the use of 
a *.so|*.a file instead (something like '-Bdynamic, -dy, -call_shared' ... ?


 	I had just finished updating openssl (several days ago) & running 
ldconfig as well afterward in order to re-compile my ssh .

# dir /usr/include/openssl/x509_vfy.h
24 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 20782 2009-11-22 12:05 /usr/include/openssl/x509_vfy.h

 	Lets see what the symbols definition looks like .

# grep -C1 X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags /usr/include/openssl/x509_vfy.h

  int X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_name(X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param, const char *name);
:int X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_flags(X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param, unsigned long flags);
  int X509_VERIFY_PARAM_clear_flags(X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param,

 	Just in case there are more than one installed instance of openssl ,  It 
could have been hiding in /usr/local or some such ,  like I said this is an old box .

# find / -xdev -name x509_vfy.h -ls

3565418   24 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        20782 Nov 22 12:05 /usr/include/openssl/x509_vfy.h


./configure 2>&1 | tee syslog-ng-3.0.4_make.log
make 2>&1 | tee -a syslog-ng-3.0.4_make.log
