OpenSSL Config Error

[Aneeq Abid]

Dear Thomas,

I tried different parameters and have found out that the error occurs only
when the option "shared" is used in the command. It works fine for all
others. Can you please explain to me what is the purpose of the shared
parameter? And is it okay if I configure openssl without it?
