Hello,

I shall wish to install the new version of Openssl under RedHat 6.4 (OpenSSL 1.0.1s 1 Mar 2016)

I installed it by means of the source code (tar.gz) by specifying a directory (example: /apps/openssl)

I modified the file/etc/profile so that this new version can be recognized

I have on the server two installation of Openssl
One in RPM: openssl-1.0.0-27.el6.x86_64.rpm
And other one tar.gz: OpenSSL 1.0.1s 1 Mar 2016

I would want to uninstall the first version (RPM) to keep only a single version of Openssl by updating it as I please.

Now by uninstalling the rpm, it deletes me bookshops :
Locate libcrypto.so.10
/usr/lib64/.libcrypto.so.10.hmac
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10

Now these bookshops are installed when we install the rmp of Openssl

Would you have an idea to uninstall completely the version of Openssl RPM (while being able to keep that installed in source)?

Thank you

Best Regards

Installing tar.gz programs on a Red Hat system is asking for dependency trouble.

Have you tried reinstalling libcrypto? rpm -ivh <whatever.rpm>

On a general note, you would do better building rpms from the tar.gz and installing that. It would take a little learning to get rpms built & what the dependencies were, but your system would benefit.

Not only is installing a RHEL system update using a tar ball asking for trouble like business_kid said, your system is hopelessly out of date. Generally speaking you would have no valid reason to connect outdated, vulnerable systems to networks so make backups, use a clone, create a snapshot or whatever your platform provides and update the OS to current, which is RHEL 6.7 (released 2015-07-22) and know there's a 6.8 release around the bend.
