how do I revert openssl back to stable 0.9.8

[miles]

We need to revert openssl back to 0.9.8 to be able to compile ruby 1.9.1.

I downloaded source to 0.9.8 and compiled and did make install. But openssl still gives the F12 version of 1.0.0-beta3. If I try to remove with Package, it wants to remove 500 packages - which I don't want to do. Any suggestions how to make the 0.9.8 version as the deployed version ?

you arent using Fedora for a server are you?

Why do you need an older version of openssl to build a newer version of Ruby? That doesn't sound right.
