Current I an using SLED 12 which comes with openssl1.0.1c.But I am working on a specific project which requires openssl 1.0.1e.I have source for openssl 1.0.1e downloaded from openssl website.But once I build and install openssl 1.0.1e when Ii check installed version I am getting only 1.0.c It is not upgrading properly so I tried uninstalling it using yast but since it contains lot of dependency I was not able to uninstall.How can I upgrade openssl 1.0.1c to 1.0.1e please provide some solution:(??? ---

If you need newer libraries for a particular application, I would probably build the code but NOT install it to avoid conflicts with the rest of the system (tons of things use OpenSSL libraries if not esecutables) and then modify the startup of specific applications to use the libraries from a given directory (LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH is the environment variable to do this). Would that work? It would help to know more about your application, requirements, overall business goals, etc. – Good luck.

Can you please elaborate how to do this installation step by step if possible which will be useful for my project? ---

There are lots of documents online about modifying environment variables like PATH and LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH that are the heart of the proposed solution, so if you are familiar with those perhaps the idea becomes obvious. Lacking that understanding, the basic idea is that you can keep your system in its default/supported state, but you can install programs/libraries anywhere outside of those normal places, and then have calls to load programs reference those alternative versions of the software. A “program” like openssl is nothing more than files, and the files are found by things requiring them because there is a specific order used to find them which is maintained by the system, and so a program usually finds the system-installed/maintained versions. You can override those trivially, though, so as long as dependencies are met you can have any number of programs with differing requirements on the same system working independently with different requirements. – Good luck.

Thanks for your reply.Can you please give me link regarding this if possible?.I have only 6 months of experience in LINUX… ---

Google/Search for it by LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH, or provide more details here and maybe we can help.
