安装环境：
操作系统：RedHat 12.0OpenSSL Version:openssl-0.9.8l
Download
安装包(Linux source) : openssl-0.9.8l.tar.gz（or the latest version of openssl） 下载地址：在linux下解压缩下载到的安装包，命令如下…..tar -xzf openssl-xxx.tar.gzOur Configuration
Install to : /usr/local/sslModule type : dynamically and staticly loaded modules, *.so *.aBuild Instructions

Form symlink from ‘/usr/local/ssl-0.9.8l’ to ‘/usr/local/ssl’（…]代表“/usr/local/”）
…]# cd /usr/local/usr/local]# ln -s ssl-0.9.8l sslUpdate the Run-time Linker
ld.so.cache will need to be updated with the location of the new OpenSSL shared libs: libcrypto.so.0.9.8 and libssl.so.0.9.8
Sometimes it is sufficient to just symlink or copy these two files to /lib, but we recommend you follow these instructions instead.
Edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add to paths…（修改效果如下图1,当然也可以直接在/etc/ld.so.conf.d文件夹下再创建一个.conf文件，把/usr/local/ssl/lib拷贝到里面，另外也可以在现有的.conf文件中添加这个路径，反正ld.so.conf中包含了这个文件夹下的所有.conf文件）

Update the PATH
Edit /root/.bash_profile, add to PATH variable…
（若原来没有安装openssl的旧版本，则放在PATH中的任何位置都可以，但是记住要用冒号分隔开，而不是分号分隔，详见后面的截图，若想查看当前的PATH环境变量都设置了什么，可以使用如下的命令实现：
[root@localhost local]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/ssl/bin:/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
）
NOTE：一般在root下直接是看不见.bash_profile（一般为隐藏文件）的，可以在该目录下使用ls –a 命令来显示隐藏了的文件。然后用VI或emacs编辑器来修改其中的内容。编译完成后若要立刻看到效果，可以用命令：source .bash_profile ，若要长期起作用，，需要重新登录（当我首次安装的时候是出现的情况是这样的~~~

If another path, or an older version is shown, your system contains a previously installed OpenSSL that is first [relative to the newer openssl] in the path.
Repeate the steps in section ‘Update the PATH’, except place the specified location at the start of the PATH variable.(在/root/.bash_profile中将PATH设置为如下的顺序，即把当前安装上的openssl的版本放在环境变量的前面，这样优先使用的就是新安装的最新的版本的OpenSSL了）

Note that the older openssl, on most systems, is located under /usr/bin
The location of ‘openssl’ can be found with…（用下面的命令你就可以查到你的openssl的安装目录了~~~）
…]# which openssl
