Ops, it's a bug. Thanks for reporting it! The fix is commited to CVS.

What kind of warnings do you have? 
 
 
 
<blockquote type="cite" cite="mid200305292356.QAA15819@scn4.scn.org">
 <pre wrap="">and all the tests done during "make check"
core dump.

Hm.. It should not core dump on this line! The only reason I can
imagine is 
if you mix OpenSSL libraries: compile with one headers/libraries and
trying 
to load another one. Try to compile xmlsec with static linking
(--enable-static-linking 
option for ./configure script) thought I don't know will it work on AIX
or not.

It just could not crash there!!! The only case is if you have problems
with linking/loading 
libraries dynamicaly (compile with one and load another version). Try
the static linking 
and check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

P.S. Please subscribe to xmlsec mailing list. It's very difficult to
dig up your messages 
from tons of "xmlsec feel younger", "xmlsec, by viagra today!" and so
on.
