        You didn't say what distribution you were running.  My guess
would be a recent version of RedHat.  RedHat does have openssl installed
and, you guessed it, they have IDEA disabled due to the patent problems
in the US and elsewhere.  That would be your openssl in /usr/sbin.

        If you had compiled with --prefix=/usr you would have overwritten
that.  BUT!  A LOT of your crypto apps will then promptly keel over and
DIE and ugly death due to openssl library revision mismatches (I know,
I've done it to myself several times).
