One way to be sure your qpopper has been dynamically linked (in
addition to using ldd), is to run fuser or lsof on the openssl libs and
see if your qpopper pid(s) has them open. I have rebuilt openssl a
couple of times and not needed to rebuild qpopper, just restart it.
I suggest moving the libs to another name using mv just before
you actually install the newly built openssl and the restarting qpopper
just after that. The 'mv' will not affect with programs that already
have files open (libraries, for example).
