+* Why does the OpenSSL test fail with "bc: command not found"?
+
+You didn't install "bc", the Unix calculator.  If you want to run the
+tests, get GNU bc from ftp://ftp.gnu.org or from your OS distributor.

+
+* Why does the OpenSSL test fail with "bc: 1 no implemented"?
+
+On some SCO installations or versions, bc has a bug that gets triggered when
+you run the test suite (using "make test").  The message returned is "bc:
+1 not implemented".  The best way to deal with this is to find another
+implementation of bc and compile/install it.  For example, GNU bc (see
+http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html for download instructions) can
+be safely used.
