[wplug] RPM question - How to make it use a newer lib file thanit's expecting

[Philip Reiche]

Hi,
Thanks everyone for all the info. I'm running redhat enterprise linux
"AS" which I picked up very cheaply via edu discounts. 
While I'm a bit tied up tonight with home-ownerish chores, I'll post
back with the results of whichever tactic I finally choose.
I'm leaning towards building from source at this point since the whole
point of this exercise is skill building.

 The older 0.9.6 ssl lib has some security bugs and I'd like to avoid
using that if I can. That said, Know offhand where I would look for the
compatability package?

Anyway, I'll post my results when I can get back to this.

Thanks again!

Phil

I know that RedHat provides an 'openssl096' package that allows the 
0.9.6 libraries to coexist with the more up to date libraries on your 
system.  I don't know what distro you are using, but it might also have 
this package for this very purpose.
