Help... uninstalled openssl and now nothing works

[stasJohn]

Okay, so I'm a newb and did something really really stupid.

I'm trying to set up ssl on apache. The instructions I was following suggested

build openssl from source
build mod_ssl from source
rebuild apache with mod_ssl support

First, I realized that there was an rpm version of openssl already on the computer. So I went ahead and did a rpm -e --nodeps openssl. I assumed anything that relied on the already installed version would just find the new version once I built it.

Next, I built openssl (0.9.8e) from source. That went fine.

Then I started noticing that things, ftp for example, were no longer working.

vsftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, yeah, how do I get that file back?

Thanks in advance

The previous version of openssl, the rpm that was already installed was version 0.9.8a-5.2
