Thank you. I am not sure why the system one is failing but it does seem to be the case. In any case, I now have a working Emacs built from src with gnus, org, twittering, etc. It would be nice to have the option to control the use of getrandom from the configure script to avoid having to change the generated config files afterwards. Thanks again, eric -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.3.7 on Debian bullseye/sid
