Brr... I am sorry but I just don't understand what are you trying to do. Install LibXML2, LibXSLT and OpenSSL (say using Fink) and do usual ./configure make make install I just recompiled xmlsec 1.0.2 and everything seems to work except that the libxslt version in fink is pretty old. I had to change configure script to downgrade minimum required libxslt version. Aleksey
