2.1 Building the Module on a Unix System 
</H2>

<P>
pyOpenSSL uses distutils, so there really shouldn't be any problems. To build
the library:
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
python setup.py build
</pre></dl>

<P>
If your OpenSSL header files aren't in <code>/usr/include</code>, you may need to
supply the <code>-I</code> flag to let the setup script know where to look. The same
goes for the libraries of course, use the <code>-L</code> flag. Note that
<code>build</code> won't accept these flags, so you have to run first
<code>build_ext</code> and then <code>build</code>! Example:
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
python setup.py build_ext -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
python setup.py build
</pre></dl>

<P>
Now you should have a directory called <code>OpenSSL</code> that contains e.g.
<code>SSL.so</code> and <code>__init__.py</code> somewhere in the build dicrectory,
so just:
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
python setup.py install
</pre></dl>

<P>
If you, for some arcane reason, don't want the module to appear in the
<code>site-packages</code> directory, use the <code>--prefix</code> option.

<P>
You can, of course, do
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
python setup.py --help
</pre></dl>

<P>
to find out more about how to use the script.
