Installing OpenSSL on a Linux system
Your distribution may very well have OpenSSL installed already; check to see
if you have it as well as what version you're running. However, you may want
to download and build the latest copy from
http://www.openssl.org
anyway,
just so that you have the most up-to-date code available. Just as with tcpdump,
a source install is probably the easiest way to go; download the distributable
and run
./config
make
sudo make install
You may want to skip the last step if you already have OpenSSL installed; you
may have other products that rely on the version bundled with your distribu-
tion. If you don't install the custom binaries, you can fi nd them under the
apps
directory of the distribution.
