Something like this may help you out:
rand_buf = "0123456789ABCDEF0";
RAND_seed(rand_buf, 17);
/* One or the other will do */
RAND_add(rand_buf, 17, 17);

Subject: PRNG not seeded ERROR
Openssl is correctly installed. Here is the report :

Using configuration from /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf

This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
