This is an openssl-users question, and should not be on openssl-dev.

"unable to get local issuer certificate" means that the CA root
certificate has not been loaded.

The "local issuer certificate" is the local copy of the certifying
authority certificate which issued the certificate you're trying to
authenticate.  (In other words, it's the "trust anchor" which is
expected to be transferred and trusted outside of the normal TLS
process.)
