cert.c: dereferencing pointer error to incomplete type

[chartl]

I'm attempting to install to a fresh build of R:

> R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"
> Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
> Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

and openssl 1.1.1-dev on CentOS-6.3. It fails on both the release and current master version due to the error below. Due to the nature of the error, I suspected that gcc-4.2 may have been too outdated a compiler; but the error persists in gcc-4.9.1 as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Relevant lines

Note that there are no occurrences of cert->xxx->yyy that are not flagged as errors.

This was fixed by downgrading to SSL-1.0.2. Same error in SSL-1.1.0.

Hmm sorry I missed this. Don't close so fast next time :)

This has been fixed, right?
