Hi,
I have compatibility issues for my application with new versions of OpenSSL and I want to use the older version of OpenSSL with my application. So, I want to link my application with an OpenSSL library built with the custom name so that it works fine on all systems and I can be assured of using the desired OpenSSL version. I am using RPATH to locate the libraries in runtime and I want to make sure my libraries don't conflict with existing libraries.
Thanks,
Shiva

If this is just for local testing, I typically build but don't
install. By changing my paths, I can use the local copy.
If you're sure you have ABI compatibility, could you
manually copy and rename the .so files to /usr/include,
/usr/local/include or equivalent?
