This is not a problem with which versions you're using or how you built the packages. The problem here is that you need a random data source and don't have one. The OpenSSL documentation includes information on what sources of random data it can work with. If your platform has a /dev/random, OpenSSL will normally use it automatically; unfortunately, I don't think Tru64 has such a beast. Which means you'll need to fall back on a pseudo-random number source like egd (the entropy-gathering daemon). Obtain, build, and install egd, and configure it to listen on some UNIX-domain socket. Then add the following line to the [libdefaults] section in /etc/krb5.conf:
egd_socket = /path/to/egd/unix/domain/socket
