Thanks for your reply, Jan. The result of "which openssl" is "/usr/bin/openssl".
The result of "/usr/local/bin/openssl" is "No such file or directory". You say "installing a newer version will not help you anyway since system commands dependent on OpenSSL will stay dependent on the version shipped with the system." Does that mean I can't even try to replace 0.9.7a with 0.9.7m?
