How do I enable EVP functions in openssl?

Question

I am trying to update my web server to the latest openssl with the heartbleed patch ( 1.0.1g ). I grabbed the tarball from openssl.org. Said the usual ./configure; mak

I resolved it. The problem was simple. These symbols are indeed undefined in libssl.so (or .a). They are actually defined in libcrypto.so. I wasn't getting the new libcrypto.so because....

...The new openssl tarball installs its outputs by default in /usr/local/ssl. This is configurable, but it really wants to install ALL the ssl stuff (including the libs) in /something/something/ssl. So you have /something/something/ssl/lib, /something/something/ssl/bin etc.

So when I said make install, it created /usr/local/ssl with all the good stuff in it. I made a symbolic link in /usr/lib64 from openssl.so.1.0.0 -> /usr/local/etc/ssl/lib/openssl.so.1.0.0. But I did not realize that I needed to do the same for libcrypto.so, so that still had the old stuff.

So I was using the new libssl.so, and an old libcrypto.so. Bad mojo.
