[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ/Erlang Dependency on SSL

Wed Feb 4 15:55:15 GMT 2009

This is more an observation than a bug or issue.

I managed to build a version of Elang without SSL.  

RabbitMQ worked fine except when I asked it to create a randomly named
temporary queue.  

(In python using amqplib "queue=chan.declare_queue()") (In java using
the java client "queue=chan.queueDeclare()")

This threw an internal error and closed the channel.

Noticing this in the logs....

It looked like the ssl library call is missing.  My guess is it uses
some call into SSL to produce the random queue name.

Installing OpenSSL
(http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2006-September/000233.html)
and rebuilding Erlang solved this.

There was no need to rebuild RabbitMQ itself.
