Right.  I didn't try to build "manually", but if it works for you it 
should work for me, so I don't doubt what you say.  I'm just saying that 
messing with CONFIGURE_ARGS alone didn't work, and that it is not 
necessarily a solution for anyone else who is having trouble with Tor (and 
reading the mailing list archives).

I did manage to get it working in the end though.

By the way, does it work out of the box for anyone else?  It would seem 
that the package as it stands now is broken -- at least for some of us.


Let's compare things...

The weird thing is that passing "--with-openssl-dir" should work even if 
I'm building via pkgsrc, right?  But it doesn't.

$ pkg_info -B tor-0.2.1.24.tgz | grep CONFIGURE_ARGS

CONFIGURE_ARGS=--sysconfdir=/usr/pkg/etc --with-openssl-dir=/usr/pkg 
--localstatedir=/var --enable-eventdns --enable-threads --prefix=/usr/pkg 
--build=i386--netbsdelf --host=i386--netbsdelf --mandir=/usr/pkg/man

Output here is:

===
checking for openssl directory... /usr/pkg
checking whether we need extra options to link openssl... (none)
tor_cv_library_openssl_dir is /usr/pkg
===

So no extra linker flags.  But when compiling/linking, the command line 
includes both "-Wl,-R/usr/lib" and "-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib".

(And tor uses /usr/lib and I get the same error...)


What I ended up doing was rerunning the linking stage manually. (cd to 
src/or in workdir, edit LDFLAGS in Makefile)  Now I have a working Tor, 
and a binary package.  Not the prettiest solution though.
