OpenSSL API compat error [SOLVED]

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.

@sonny
Can you show me how you compiled this?

As usual... but it's THE capital C on Configure
./Configure
make
make test
make install
FYI, the 3.10 version out

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
