[ raised eyebrow... ] You're worried about security enough to update
the database, but you're still running an OS release that Red Hat
stopped supporting years ago? Grab yourself a Fedora download, before
you get hacked into via some other loophole.
My guess as to your specific problem is that the combination of a new
OpenSSL release in /usr/local and an old one in /usr/lib doesn't play
very well --- you're probably picking up some broken combination of new
and old headers and libraries. You could probably make it work with
enough hacking, but it'd be a lot smarter to spend the effort on an OS
upgrade.
