 You can install OpenSSL from MacPorts or Homebrew, choose whichever
 you prefer.


Using MacPorts/Homebrew instead of manual install would allow /usr/bin/ssh (for 
example) to use /usr/local/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib instead of 
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib ?


 I can already install openssl and libs somewhere else (/usr/local), but
 if possible I would like to replace those provided by the system.
 
 That would be a mistake.  It is best to not replace system libraries
 with incompatible upstream versions.

how much do you think it would be incompatible? 
The more I think about it, the more I do agree with you, but I can't help 
thinking that's too bad I can't upgrade openssl+libs on my system.

[openssl-users] upgrade system's OpenSSL and libs on Mac OS X 10.6.8

2015-05-10 Thread Patrick Proniewski
Hi,

Disclaimer: I'm not a developer.

I would like to upgrade openssl, libssl and libcrypto on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 
system. The purpose is to allow system and softwares to use the new libs (for 
example ssh, sshd, Mail...). Do you think it's possible?

I can already install openssl and libs somewhere else (/usr/local), but if 
possible I would like to replace those provided by the system.

Any help greatly appreciated.
