How to upgrade OpenSSL in CentOS 6.5 / Linux / Unix from source?

Question

How do I upgrade OpenSSL in CentOS 6.5?

I have used these commands, but nothings happens:

 cd /usr/src
 wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.         


        

Answer 1

My approach was:

openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2a.tar.gz
wget http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/svn/openssl-1.0.2a-fix_parallel_build-1.patch
tar xzf openssl-1.0.2a.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.2a
patch -Np1 -i ../openssl-1.0.2a-fix_parallel_build-1.patch
./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/etc/ssl --libdir=lib shared zlib-dynamic
make
make install

openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2a 19 Mar 2015
