I'm trying to compile a program that calls MD5Init(). The command

$ nm -Agp /usr/lib64/libssl.so
nm: /usr/lib64/libssl.so: no symbols
A stripped library??? How does that work? How is one supposed to
link against it or even find out what is in it?
If the man page doesnt' mention the library name containing a
function, how is one supposed to find it?

The .a libraries aren't stripped, at least on my box. Ran nm on
libgnutls-openssl.a, found it. This is an FC3 box.
As for the bad man page, bugzilla is recommended.
