The results from the openssl-fips step:

[root@pdclab01] /usr/local/ssl/fips-1.0/bin # ./openssl version
OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2

Good so far.  The results from

Config fips
Make
Make install 

On openssl 0.9.8w:

[root@pdclab01] /usr/local/ssl/fips/bin # ./openssl version
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./openssl because of the following
errors:
        0509-022 Cannot load module
/usr/local/ssl/fips/lib/libcrypto.so.
        0509-150   Dependent module libgcc_s.a(shr.o) could not be
loaded.
        0509-022 Cannot load module libgcc_s.a(shr.o).
        0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does

        0509-022 Cannot load module openssl.

could not be loaded.
        0509-022 Cannot load module .


The system is AIX 6.1.5 SP1 using gcc 4.4.5.

The latter: you extract 0.9.8w into a separate directory and do:

./config fips

instead of:

./config 

OpenSSL should then pick up and use the validated module you installed
before to generate a so called "FIPS capable OpenSSL" that is a version
of OpenSSL that makes use of the validated module.

If you get errors please give details of what they are.
