Upgrade OpenSSL on Centos 5.5

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade my OpenSSL for a while now, tried looking for guides on the forums and found nothing.

I am trying to be able to use the "openssl version" command to be able to see the newer version

I compiled openssl-1.0.0a with vanilla config at start, then compiled it with

Code:

./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl

configurations
It didnt help me and my OS still shows the older version:

Code:

[root@login openssl-1.0.0a]# openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008

is there any way i can fix this so the openssl will link to the newer version?

Thanks in advanced
Amit

PRIME(1SSL)                                                           OpenSSL                                                          PRIME(1SSL)

NAME

       openssl-prime, prime - compute prime numbers

SYNOPSIS

       openssl prime [-help] [-hex] [-generate] [-bits] [-safe] [-checks] [number...]

DESCRIPTION

       The prime command checks if the specified numbers are prime.

       If no numbers are given on the command line, the -generate flag should be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified
       by the rest of the flags.

OPTIONS

       [-help]
           Display an option summary.

       [-hex]
           Generate hex output.

       [-generate]
           Generate a prime number.

       [-bits num]
           Generate a prime with num bits.

       [-safe]
           When used with -generate, generates a "safe" prime. If the number generated is n, then check that (n-1)/2 is also prime.

       [-checks num]
           Perform the checks num times to see that the generated number is prime.  The default is 20.
