Greetings,

My first post on Comp Hope. I am a Linux newb!

I am attempting to UPDATE openssl 0.9.7a to 0.9.8k. I have un-tared the contents of 0.9.8k into the /opt/OpennSSL folder and seem to successfully execute:

./config
make
make test (end of this string indicates install directory is /usr/local/ssl)
make install

Yet after all of the supposed successful install scripts run I still get 'openssl version' 0.9.7a. I have gone to the /usr/local/ssl directory and see only 0.9.7a stuff.

Two questions:

1. Why is the default install not updating?

2. Where the heck is 0.9.8k installing to?

Appreciate any HELP you can give.Ok..I get by with a little help from my FRIENDS. Fixed issue so I'll post for future use.

Downloading openssl-0.9.8k.tar.tar to the /opt folder should create an OpenSSL directory but it may not. In my case it created an OpenSSL file. I had to manually create the OpenSSL directory, remove the OpenSSL file, and copy the openssl-0.9.8k.tar.tar into the newly created OpennSSL directory. Once there I un-tared it which created the openssl-0.9.8k directory and from there re-attempted the install which was successful.

Hope this helps ANYONE who may have issue in the future

Thanks
