I was getting "certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)"
in my ruby app and decided it was time to update the old openssl on my Mac OS X (Mountain Lion) system.
I grabbed the latest sources from here and did the usual
- ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
- make
- make test
- sudo make install
... and everything completed without apparent error. But I notice that the new openssl has not replaced the old openssl:
$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl
$ /usr/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8x 10 May 2012
$ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
I'm hesitant to mess around with important system files for fear of breaking existing things. What's the recommended approach? I'm thinking of replacing /usr/bin/openssl with a symlink to the /usr/local/ssl/bin version. Would that work?
