The OpenSSL documentation is not that good for me (scattered among many manpages, I have seen working code on the Net calling functions that are not documented at all), so the next step for me is to inspect Ralf Engelschall's mod_ssl to see how he drives it. > how does it relate to the TLS bindings that Aaron > Van Devender (IIRC) was working on over the summer? Now that you tell me, I too know that this effort exists. After a quick search I was not able to find any code on the Net, I will have to search some more (IIRC it was not announced on the GNU TLS mailing list). I was planning to try to write a GNU TLS binding, too (to test myself). But if his works, fine! I will be happy to make the Guile-OSLO API compatible with the one of his binding (OSLO because without written permission it is not allowed to use "OpenSSL" in the name of a piece of software). >> Now I have written a binding[1] to GD[2] (the >> graphics library etc.) which, you have to admit >> IS somewhat funny. > >Why is it funny?

I had problems in creating mailing lists at GNA! (like receiving mail messages saying "your administration password is:" followed by a blank line, some passwords are so secret that even the administrator cannot know them), so, until a few days ago, there was no working mailing list at all. >> there are many options to be selected. > >But perhaps not all of those options need to be >exposed to the Scheme binding? For basic FreeType'd text placing gdImageStringFT is enough and "quick" to code, but there is no reason to exclude the other functions or arbitrarily select defaults for some options. The problem, for me, is that I bet that installing FreeType requires a recent version of X, which I do not have. And this means, for me, to upgrade the whole Debian; I will do it, but not tomorrow.
