With the instructions used in recent versions of BLFS (in particular, shared libraries), just drop it over the top. If you are _serving_ anything which links to openssl then you will need to bounce those services (i.e. stop them and restart them). For a desktop, I guess that closing the browser(s) and reopening those should be sufficient. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
