Hello, I am trying to upgrade my openSSL version on RHEL5. WHen I tried to update it using yum commad (it kept pausing with the messages - No packages marked for update) I found out that this was not installed from the source but was present along with RHEL in the /usr directory. Following are some helpful commands to give you an idea of the machine and openSSL I am using

How can I upgrade from 0.98e version to the latest one without using yum from the source? Should I replace this installation? -- Thanks, Shruti Palshikar 617 784 8358 BuysideFX<https://app.getsignals.com/link?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buysidefx.com%2F&ukey=agxzfnNpZ25hbHNjcnhyFAsSC1VzZXJQcm9maWxlGLr_3AMM&k=a1b9ff13b42c4509a0ed70bae764a41a> *Solving foreign exchange problems * *for institutional money managers*
