9        OpenSSL 0.9.7
10
11Require zlib and openssl headers for compilation -- may not be included when
12installing the packages. (libssl-dev + libz-dev packages under debian)
13
14Bekerley DB v1 or v4 support is required. The configure script should find an
15appropriate db package -- and if not, use an in-memory version of the code.
16However, the in-memory version is not desirable as it will lose information
17over restarts of the daemon.

19Ideally, use libeditline as a readline replacement. If not available then use
20GNU readline (libreadline4-dev, probably) and pass --enable-gnu-readline to
21./configure.

23
24
25(OpenSSL 0.9.7 is required as it implements new interfaces which make encryption
26using the same key faster by avoiding key setup each time around. Configure it with
27./config shared , then copy the libs and headers into the required places.)
