Has anyone compiled the source on SuSE 10.1 ?

I am not a Linux programmer, so please be patient. Can anyone tell me the significance of the numbering scheme on the libraries? For instance libcrypto.so.4 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8 or 0.9.8?

If I try to install the redhat rpm's I get the following rpm failure: error: Failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.4 is needed by kannel-1.4.0-3.1.fc2.fr.i386
        libssl.so.4 is needed by kannel-1.4.0-3.1.fc2.fr.i386

If linking to the following would work, I would greatly appreciate you telling me the directory and the command to link the libraries:

Here are my files:
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

Following other suggestions, I downloaded the cvs snapshot. When I tried compiling the source, I get the following error: configure: error: You MUST have the libxml2 (aka gnome-xml) library installed.
My SuSE 10.1 has the following:

/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.23

I have a fundamental question, do I use SuSE's and a link, or download and install libxml2 ? Please explain why so that I can learn from this experience. (what command to link?)

Thanks for your help (and understanding).
