Dear Majordomo, I am a student currently learning linux and new to the language. I am using the debian operating system I tried using the command openssl but got an error that command does not exist. I checked the man page for openssl but was told the man page for openssl does not exist. I then checked your website to see if I can download the software. I was able to use wget command to download the latest version of openssl. I was able to configure using the ./config command. The problem is that I tried using the make command (and even make install command) to build and install the software but got a lot of errors. This problem I also encountered while trying to configure the yum package. Please I assume you very experienced with linux and could easily tell me what is wrong. Is it that debian does not allow the use of make command (and I tried this command even as root) or is there something I am doing wrong. Please reply if you can help me.
