But I was able to make my app run on both platforms by linking against
libcrypto.0.9.dylib. (Xcode refuses to link against libcrypto.dylib;
it
stubbornly resolves the symlink and creates a version dependency.)
Just a note: apps typically will stubbornly not be able to tell whether
a file ref is a symbollic link. That's the point. Some utilities are
designed to distinguish, to assist in system management, but otherwise,
it's By Design that symbolic links are not distinguished from the real
thing.
Why libcrypto is showing two versions is a puzzle; I'd expect something
like
libcripto -> libcrypto.0.9 -> libcrypto.0.9.7
as symlinks, with only the latter a real file. That way, you can name
the library less and less specifically.
BTW, how does linking against 'libcrypto.dylib' create a version
dependency?

Justin
