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

[Philip Reiche]

The post about "dependency hell" inspired another trip to google.
Searching "mysql rpm dependency"  eventually lead me to this tidbit:

Download 5.0.1a. 

5.0.0 is linked with SSL while 5.0.1a is not (which is right).

Probably a good choice.

Most likely Redhat has packages for RHAS available through up2date. 
Try 
running 'up2date openssl096' with root privileges.

However, if you are concerned about using the openssl library that is 
out of date, then you certainly shouldn't be using a package that 
requires it.  Either find a newer package that doesn't require the
older 
openssl or build it from source, as you mentioned before.
