I just checked out OpenForce's quick install guide...
It says: Install or upgrade to the correct version of OpenSSL (0.9.6 as of 28 Dec 2000)...
I have openssl-0.9.5a-7.6.x openssl-devel-0.9.5a-7.6.x (rpms for RH 6.2) installed which are from Wed 11 Jul 2001 though...
When I compiled the nsopenssl source I got the following error:
thread.c:42: #error "OpenSSL was not compiled with thread support!"
