Solaris 11.4 x86 virtual server on VMware--trying to upgrade openssl to version 1.1.1b using the ope

Downloaded and unpacked openssl 1.1.1b from the OpenSSL site and copied it to a /tools directory.

Installed latest gcc compiler from the oracle repository.

Ran the following in the openssl directory:

./configure

make test

make install

Used all default options

No errors--looks like a clean install except that the command #'openssl version -a' shows the earlier version.  Looks like the earlier version is installed in /etc/openssl and the new one should be installed in /usr/local/ssl.  Tried adjusting the PATH variable in the root profile to include /usr/local.  Tried to research modifying links but could not find anything in oracle or on the net.  I would like to verify that the system is using the new version.

Howdy, Stranger!
