Download OpenSSL 0.9.8f and install it somewhere it stays separate from the 
RHEL system package, say /opt/openssl098f. Building it would be something like 
this:

./config --prefixdir=/opt/openssl098f --openssldir=/opt/openssl098f
make
make install

Then whatever you have to do for OpenSSH to point it at that version. If the 
resulting OpenSSH executables need to run somewhere else (not on this build 
machine) you would also need to build them with the OpenSSL libraries linked 
statically instead of dynamically.

Subject: version question

      I am trying to build Openssh 6.7p1 on a Red Hat 5.6 x86_64 system
with Red Hat openssl-0.9.8e-31, which is the latest Red Hat openssl
version. The Openssh build checks openssl versions and requires 0.9.8f.
Is there a work around for this?
    Thanks.

David Flatley
