I have installed OpenSSL 1.0.1 and later I have compiled Tinc 1.1pre2 without problems.

The problem is that the OpenSSL 1.0.x package don't is in CentOS 5.x repositories and I need install it from the sources, and later I need to update other packages that depend of him becouse It not updates all packages dependencies (Python, Apache,...).

I think that It's a lot of work, and It can gives me some problems with other packages.

Do you think that there aren't another solution?


Best regards,
