Re: Need Some Help Installing OpenSSL

Daniel,

Thanks for your help! I downloaded OpenSSL from the link you gave and
installed it along with cURL. I didn't really see any errors in the
installation but I'd just like to make sure its working correctly. Is there
a script or something I can use to make sure all the functions are working
correctly especially with SSL?

Since I installed it into my home directory do I need to do anything
different when using scripts that require cURL and OpenSSL?

Best Regards,

Jeff
