Comments on How to Install the latest OpenSSL version from Source on Linux

Hi, I have upgrade to the latest version but I cannot incorparate this version to Apache. Do you have any suggestion?

Regards 

What a great article!  Thanks a lot!!!

Good tutorial, although I preferred to not touch the old binaries, I simply added /usr/local/ssh/bin as the first entry of the $PATH. Note also that the files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ are parsed in alphabetical order.

How to give Cross compiler option?

I am trying to cross compile for power pc..using compiler:{CC=ppc4xx-linux-gcc --host=powerpc-linux --target=powerpc-linux --with-yielding_select=no} but make depend/make fails. Anything I can do?

Thank you for putting this together! I've been struggling with changing OpenSSL versions in Debian for some time now.

One thing I'm still unclear about is why we're using the shared option here when compiling. Is this required or is it simply to provide shared libraries of the correct version of OpenSSL for other applications that need it?

 Thanks very much. Good documentation and easy to follow.

To keep the PATH-Setting after reboot:

vim /etc/profile.d/openssl-start.sh

#!/bin/bash

source /etc/profile.d/openssl.sh

------------

vim /etc/systemd/system/openssl.service

[Unit]

After=mysql.service

[Service]

ExecStart=/etc/profile.d/openssl-start.sh

[Install]

WantedBy=default.target

--------------

systemctl enable openssl.service

Just in case if someone encountered a TAP OUT error. Please install the following

yum install perl-Module-Load-Conditional perl-core

Excellent Article!! Thank your for sharing :-)

Thanks a lot!

Claro y facil. Muy buen trabajo. Gracias

Excellent article

I needed to put 'sudo' before the make directives and then it worked!

Thank you!

Hello Muhammad, thanks so much. Your tutorial works perfectly. At first, I thought things were off, because on Ubuntu 'openssl version' gave me a not found response, but after a reboot, everything was well. Thanks again.

By the way, maybe I should clarify I did the upgrade to openssl 1.1.1b.

Great Article! Worked like a charm, Thanks!

Awesome article, one of the rarest!

Grate job!

Thank you so much!!!

Having problems with wget, getting the error message "Unable to locally verfiy the issuer's authority. To connect to google.com insecurely, use '--no-check-certificate'. How do I resove this?

Me too.

You have a solution ?

thanks for the information

Good tutorial for the beginners

easy and clean steps to follow what a article 

cp: `e_os2.h' and `/usr/src/redhat/openssl-1.0.2o/include/openssl/e_os2.h' are the same file

Excellent article 

Thanks for the great working notes.  For Mint 20,  I had to go get Zlib.h & and new GCC to gain stdlib.h .

Hi.

its very good job.

/Alok

Did all of this steps and now lost root access on CentOS, anyone through same and knew how to fix it?

Very well done!!! Thanks!!

20210616 Thank you for this exellent guide. It works 100% on a Raspberry Pi 4 with freshly installed latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, uname -a : Linux pi4-6 5.10.17-v7l+ #1421 SMP Thu May 27 14:00:13 BST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

I followed these instructions on some redhat servers and it appeared to work great, however, an SA teammate informed me to never use this procedure as it broke the capability to login to the servers via the console. I had yum uninstall openssl and openssl-devel and then linked /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl to /bin/openssl

Thanks alot

I update OpenSSL to version 1.1.1n, and looks like wget, curl have error after using this guideline upgrade, it shows the errors like 

ERROR: cannot verify bitbucket.org's certificate, issued by ‘CN=R3,O=Let's Encrypt,C=US’:

  Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.

To connect to www.openssl.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

Thanks! Great article

This was super useful, thank you!!

Thank You. This is very useful.

Thank you for an extremely clear and easy to follow tutorial.  Got me to openssl 1.1.1q.  Now I can upgrade openSSH.

If i install from rpm (EPEL)  and just replace openssl11 to openssl will it work, and what are the chances of breaking the system. 

mv /bin/openssl /bin/openssl.bak

mv /bin/openssl11 /bin/openssl

I discovered a little problem with the update and I hope to find a Linux guru here :)
