Hi,

you can get an older version from this location,

http://www.openssl.org/source/

Normally hp pre-compiled software's location cannot be changed. You can download the source and recompile it yourself and you may be able to change the location where it is installed.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You will probably have to install the package, then set it up so it works to your specs, then repackage it with swpackage manager.

I don't recommend this though, since modifying standard packages will surely void any support you would get on them (if any). Apart from that, you might have a hard time getting it to work and it's just not worth the hassle.

Since you probably already looked on the the openssl.org site, I can't give any advice on that...

HP's depot binaries are already compiled with the location, typically into /opt.

Will need to get the source and compile for a new location.

The source for most of the HPUX compatible software can be found on the porting archive

http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu

There will be binaries in depot format as well as source

Hello, The only way to get OpenSSL0.9.7e is to download OpenSSL from http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz
then, compile it on your own. HP's OpenSSL installs in /opt/openssl. If you want to know the compile options, take a look at
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-4792/index.html
