I did this: 1.- download a fresh copy of openssl, configure with --prefix=/opt/OpenSSL, compile and install, everything will go to /optOpenSSL, so, the new version won't conflict with the red hat's 2.- compile mysql with: --with-openssl-libs=/opt/OpenSSL/lib --with-openssl-include=/opt/OpenSSL/include --prefix=/opt/MySQL I like to keep control with what i compile and install, it is quite hard to find whats installed with "MAKE INSTALL" under /usr, changing the default prefix is somehow easier to manage, every thing will go to /opt This is how i did it, I have copies of 4.0, 4.1 and 5 running on the same machine like this Hope this helps!
