I am a beginner in OpenSSL in C, Linux. I have
downloaded the example
codes from Eric Rescorla. But they are not running using
gcc. Can
anybody please give me the proper syntax to run the
client and the
server?

In my system, it is giving some errors like undefines
"err_exit" and
undefined "initialixation_ctx"

any help is appreciated.

thanx in advance.

openSSL is not something you access through gcc

maybe you would do better to open a terminal window and type:

man openssl | more

then read the output.

whhile using command line actions like generating a
certificate of using the s_client and s_server.
