Hold on, you had to do binary surgery using an OpenSSL version from an old box you had? I salute the dedication.

Looks to me he just copied a shared library and changed the search path.

Also, if it was statically linked, he wouldn't have that one problem. (Could have others, but not that one.)

How exactly does one do that. Sounds exciting!

Not the OP but what sometimes works is as easy as:

``` ldd your-binary ``` on the old host and then copy all the thing that is referenced, put into ./foo and then start like so on new host: `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./foo ./your-binary`. (may include typos, from memory)

A great tool for this used to be https://github.com/intoli/exodus - not sure if it still works.

Disclaimer: Also please don't do this with network-facing services, security applies, etc.pp. but it's a good trick to know.

I think you copy the library file and add it to you load path

		but don't forget to make sure your new path is fewer characters than the original one so you don't overwrite any of the library
