Hello:

I need initialize the PRNG to can generate keys and performing public key
encryption.

I want use one of this functions:
   void RAND_seed(const void *buf, int num);
   void RAND_add(const void *buf, int num, double entropy);

But I don´t know what parameters I have to use. Somebody can send me a
example to use this functions?.

See http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/RAND_add.html

You usually use RAND_seed with a buffer of "good" random data.

Hope it helps,
