upgrading of openssl

hi,

i recently upgraded openssl from openssl-0.9.8 to openssl-1.0.1. i tried to compile nrpe but keep getting an error: ssl libraries not found. i discover that libssl.so.0.9.8 is located in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, but i cant find libssl.so.1.0.1. so what i did is softlink ln -fs /usr/lib/libssl.so libssl.so.0.9.8. it works but i read this is a bad way to resolve this problem.

why isnt there libssl.so.1.0.1 after even though i have installed openssl-1.0.1e. and what is the best way to install libssl.so??

Hi,

usually the best way to upgrade or install anything is to use your package manager. What distro and release are you using? And why do you want to install that particular version of openssl?

hi, im using suse linux server sp 1. problem is that my machine is not connected to the internet so im not able to use zypper. anw i realise that even though i managed to compile nrpe successfully, i wasnt able to make all. it gives an error cannot find -lssl

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with suse to suggest the correct way to upgrade without an internet connection. Also this would likely depend on the suse version, which you didn't mention.
