Fresh CVS tree:

Python 2.1c1 (#2, Apr 12 2001, 17:23:20) 
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2

>>> import socket
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File
"/scratch/nascheme/py_cvs/dist/src/Lib/socket.py", line
41, in ?
    from _socket import *
ImportError:
/scratch/nascheme/py_cvs/dist/src/linux/build/lib.linux-i686-2.1/_socket.so:
undefined symbol: RAND_status

socketmodule is linked thusly:

gcc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.1/socketmodule.o
-L/usr/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto -o
build/lib.linux-i686-2.1/_socket.so

The SSL package is:

    libssl09-dev 0.9.4-5

I've no time to dig into the details right now but I
should have
time tonight.  I will be gone on holiday tomorrow.

I've checked in a tentative fix, provided by Martin von
Loewis.

I'm keeping this bug report open because Moshe thought that
Martin's fix was broken, but failed to give a better fix
that Martin could agree to.

Closing this. In the end we reversed the checkin because it
broke on some platforms and there was no clear way to fix
it.
