libflashsupport's SSL Broken

[James Ward]

Binary package hint: libflashsupport

On Linux libflashsupport allows Flash to have SSL support. This is needed for RTMPS - an encrypted real-time messaging protocol. To test this you can use the new Adobe Brio Beta:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/brio/

It uses RTMPS and on Ubuntu just hangs when it tries to initialize the RTMPS connection. On Gentoo with libflashsupport it works fine.

Today it seems that Ubuntu is trying to use GNU TLS instead of OpenSSL. I'm not sure if that is the problem or not.

Also when I try to compile the flashsupport which I downloaded from SourceForge, I get an error:
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jamesw/linux_stuff/flashsupport'
/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o libflashsupport.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version 9:0:0 -lssl -lpthread flashsupport.lo
gcc -shared .libs/flashsupport.o -lssl -lpthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libflashsupport.so.0 -o .libs/libflashsupport.so.0.0.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libflashsupport.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jamesw/linux_stuff/flashsupport'
make: *** [all] Error 2

It would be really great if someone can help fix this. Thanks.

Is this still true for Ubuntu? Can someone have a look into this, please?
