OpenSSL API compat error [SOLVED]

[Jasper]

Hi there

Can someone let me know how I can fix this error message?

"OPENSSL_API_COMPAT expresses an impossible API compatibility level"

Occasionally, I can bypass this if I am able to use GNUTLS is presented as an alternative to using OpenSSL.

I installed OpenSSL 3.0.8 to make it go away...

@sonny

Can you show me how you compiled this?

[sonny]

As usual... but it's THE capital C on Configure

./Configure
make
make test
make install

FYI, the 3.10 version out

@sonny

Thanks for showing me how to do this

However, I do have a question to ask.

The existing files are located in

/usr

Following your instructions it places all files in

/usr/local

I did check the available paths available using

echo $PATH

Can you let me know how I can change the installation path so that it overwrites the existing installation instead of creating a second build?

Also, is it possible to strip out the HTML files as this uses up a lot of space?

Thanks in advance

I guess performing a manual update (or removal of the system version) is not a good idea. Installing a new copy in "/usr/local" is the right practice.

Maybe not such a good idea to "mix and match" builds
