Solution found: On Red Hat Enterprise 8, there were a coupld shared object libs that were symlinks to previous versions. The libssl.so.2 and libcrypto.so.2 had to be re-symlinked to the new openssl share libs. Also, config command for openssl needed to reference old build area so, ./config --with-prefix=/usr shared HTH anyone interested.

I replaced the /usr/bin/openssl with a link to the other one (the new one). Then rebuilt apache with export SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.7f ./configure "--enable-mods-shared=dav ssl rewrite proxy proxy_http proxy_ftp proxy_connect headers" "--prefix=/path/to/httpd-2.0.53" make and make install complete. However site comes up with old version of openssl?!?!
