error trying to install ssl

[gwu]

i am trying to install qpopper and it is saying that i need some *.so.0 files.

From what i have found i need openssl-0.9.5a-1.i386.rpm installed on the box to get these files.correct?

I am trying to install openssl-0.9.5a-1.i386.rpm and am getting an error..something like "/file/file/" from openssl-0.9.5a-1.i386.rpm conflicts with openssl-0.9.6-1.i386.rpm...it seems i need the older version installed to get these files. What can i do?!?!?


thanks

rpm -Uvf --oldpackage <rpm package> i believe thats the correct format or you can use rpm -Uvf --force <rpm package> as well.

i wouldn't downgrade openssl. big mistake there.

what are the exact files that you are missing?

you can also check

http://www.rpmfind.net

to see what rpms provide those files.

you might just have to create a symlink to another file too.
