What's happening is that when you built, you probably did that against
/usr/local/ssl/lib/lib{ssl,crypto}.so, but when you run, it wants to
link with /et/httpd/lib/apache/lib{ssl,crypto}.so, which are obviously
from a different (older, I'd say 0.9.5a) version, it breaks.

There are a few solutions for this:

  - cp /usr/local/ssl/lib/lib{ssl,crypto}.so /et/httpd/lib/apache/
    I personally would avoid this, because <deity of choice> only
    knows what else depends o what's already there.
  - Link Apache-ssl against OpenSSL-0.9.6 libraries statically.

For obvious reasons, I'd take the second choice.  Less hassle that
way.
