+The OpenSSL shared libraries are often installed in a directory like
+/usr/local/ssl/lib.
+
+If this directory is not in a standard system path for dynamic/shared
+libraries, then you will have problems linking and executing
+applications that use OpenSSL libraries UNLESS:
+
+* you link with static (archive) libraries. If you are truly
+ paranoid about security, you should use static libraries.
+* you use the GNU libtool code during linking
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html)
+* you use pkg-config during linking (this requires that
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes the path to the OpenSSL shared
+ library directory), and make use of -R or -rpath.
+ (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
+* you specify the system-wide link path via a command such
+ as crle(1) on Solaris systems.
+* you add the OpenSSL shared library directory to /etc/ld.so.conf
+ and run ldconfig(8) on Linux systems.
+* you define the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH (HP),
+ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (MacOS X) or PATH (Cygwin and DJGPP)
+ environment variable and add the OpenSSL shared library
+ directory to it.
+
+One common tool to check the dynamic dependencies of an executable
+or dynamic library is ldd(1) on most UNIX systems.
+
+See any operating system documentation and manpages about shared
+libraries for your version of UNIX. The following manpages may be
+helpful: ld(1), ld.so(1), ld.so.1(1) [Solaris], dld.sl(1) [HP],
+ldd(1), crle(1) [Solaris], pldd(1) [Solaris], ldconfig(8) [Linux],
+chatr(1) [HP].
