Shruti, This is probably not the right list to ask that question but i'm going to help you anyways.
OpenSSL is a library and you can't simply upgrade it across your entire RHEL installation. What you need is for the packages that you have installed who have dependencies on OpenSSL to update their packages to have a dependency on the newer version. I believe there is a yum update or yum upgrade command which will attempt to update any packages that are out of date. You are at the mercy of the package owners and the RHEL repository folk. -Paul On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 10:50 AM, Shruti Palshikar <shr...@buysidefx.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to upgrade my openSSL version on RHEL5.
