Aha, that's your problem! Just stick with the standard OpenSSL RPMs for your system, you won't be using those to build Apache/mod_ssl. Don't even worry about upgrading OpenSSL for the entire system. If you then build Apache/mod_ssl/OpenSSL/libmm according to the instructions I posted yesterday (see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modssl&m=99617165921669&w=2) you will be successful.
