1967 :: could not import: md5_Init

When I run this minimal code
```
import os
import openssl

for f in commandLineParams():
  echo md5_file(f)
```
I get

could not import: md5_Init

What did I do wrong or what did I miss?

I should have mentioned this is GNU/Linux x86_64

Did you enable the ssl switch？

ManfredLotz (orginal) [2016-01-24T13:48:38+01:00] view original

No, the documntation in http://nim-lang.org/docs/openssl.html didn't mention anything.
I just did

nim c testopenssl.nim

What do I have to do?

Try the most recent devel version of Nim, this should be fixed: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/commit/44ad71b7e03fc9b6e7bc94b22dde395ee5ddc4df

Instructions for compiling it are here: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim

When I checked out Nim I didn't get that fix. Nevertheless, I did it by hand, and now it works fine.

So my conclusion is:
- it is a bug in openssl.nim (fixed in the meantime)
- there is no ssl switch required (simply because I didn't do anything with ssl)
Right?

Thanks for your help. -- Manfred

There is an ssl switch, see here: http://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#ssl-tls-support

But if you use the openssl lib directly it's not required.
