Hello Murugesan,

Yes, this is everything I need, thanks.

The function PEM_write_PKCS8 is in a library. Debugging information
("gcc -g ...") takes more disk space, so most libraries are built
without debugging information.

You can look at the place where you obtained the "crypto" lib and
the "ssl" lib and see if there are debugging versions available.
If you built these libraries yourself from source code, then you
can rebuild them with -g ("CFLAGS=-g"). If you did not build these
libraries yourself, then you have to find the person who installed
these libraries and ask them for a debugging version.

Usually, you can debug your program effectively even if the libraries
do not have debugging information. You just can't debug the
library itself.
