find / -name libssl.so

//beforehand, kill off any existing openssl copy
sudo aptitude remove openssl
rm -rf /usr/bin/openssl
which openssl

//now compile & install a new copy of openssl from source
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
tar xzf openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.8h
./config --prefix=/usr
