bitcoin compiled without full openssl libraries

[NTICompass]

I downloaded Bitcoin 0.5.1 for Linux from bitcoin.org.  My server was running an older version (not sure which one).  When I ran bitcoind, and tried to connect to RPC via SSL I got this:

Code:

EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
-rpcssl=1, but bitcoin compiled without full openssl libraries.
bitcoin in ThreadRPCServer()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  -rpcssl=1, but bitcoin compiled without full openssl libraries.
Aborted

The older version of Bitcoin I had worked, I followed the guide to enable SSL here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon

Why doesn't SSL work on Bitcoin 0.5.1.

NOTE:
OS: Debian Squeeze 32-bit

Wallet encryption?

Bitcoin didn't use encryption before this, only hashing functions.

Edit: never mind, "read post before replying" will be my new mantra.

Oh, sorry if I didn't explain it, but I was trying to enable JSON-RPC (using SSL).

Here is the answer: Someone (BlueMatt) forgot to enable RPCSSL in gitian builds...

"luke-jr    * a225351 Re-enable RPCSSL in gitian builds.
19:38    luke-jr    ^ is this a bugfix?
19:38    BlueMatt    yea
19:38    gmaxwell    luke-jr: I think so it wasn't intentionally turned off, and people using it have complained."

It has already been noted and fixed, but you'll need to wait for a 0.5.2 or 0.6.0 binary for the fix. Alternately you can compile Bitcoin 0.5.1 yourself after making just the changes to the source that are in commit a225351.

Cool, glad to know it's fixed.  I'll wait for a binary, I may try to compile if I get some time :-)
