583	/bin/sh: 28: cannot create .../.openssl/ssl/man/man3/hmac.3: Too many levels of symbolic links	Gene Aumson		"I'm building nginx-1.7.1, with the configure argument --with-openssl=../openssl-1.0.1h.

If I run the build once, with a fresh extract of the OpenSSL sources, everything works fine.

However, if I run `make` a subsequent time, using that same leftover ../openssl-1.0.1h folder, I get the following error:

{{{

/bin/sh: 28: cannot create /vagrant/nginx-distil/nginx-1.7.1/../openssl-1.0.1h/.openssl/ssl/man/man3/hmac.3: Too many levels of symbolic links

}}}

A workaround is to delete the folder ../openssl-1.0.1h/.openssl, at which point `make` in nginx-1.7.1 works as expected."	defect	closed	minor		nginx-core	1.7.x	worksforme	openssl install		Linux vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:02:19 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux	"nginx version: nginx/1.7.1
