Hi Jeremy,

thanks for your help!  I chose to add PREFER.openssl=pkgsrc to my 
/etc/mk.conf and that did the trick.  I'm still not sure why that worked, as 
opposed to the message(s) about using libtool and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH / 
LIBPATH though.  Is there any documentation on this sort of thing when 
building/installing pkgsrc software?  I mean other than manpages.  For 
example I checked the man mk.conf and saw nothing about PREFER.

Now's probably a good time to ask a general question about NetBSD and 
pkgsrc -

when installing NetBSD you have /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib, etc., and 
then later when you install packages, whether precompiled or from pkgsrc, 
the software gets installed in /usr/pkg/bin, /usr/pkg/sbin, /usr/pkg/lib, 
etc..  Isn't it possible to set a path/variable so that when compiling 
packages it uses the updated (newer version) libraries in /usr/pkg/lib (for 
example)?  Shouldn't that be automatically set, especially since the default 
when installing additional software puts everything under /usr/pkg ?

Thanks, again for your help,
Robert
