CentOS - Nov 2021 - Install OpenSSL 1.1.1 on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).

Hello Kaushal,

the EPEL repository has OpenSSL 1.1 packages available:

# yum install epel-release
# yum install openssl11 openssl11-libs openssl11-devel

If you want to compile software with OpenSSL 1.1 instead of 1.0
you may have to set the proper path or environment variables
such as LDFLAGS.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
   Steve

OTOH, my first question would be why he wants to install Python 3.10? If
another Python 3.x version would work, it should be possible to install it
from EPEL, no?

That way the whole mess of building and installing Python from source
would be avoided.

Regards,
Simon

Hi Steve,
