Hi Guys,
I need some suggestion as how to install

openssl-1.0.1.g-1-i686.pkg.tar.tar
openssl-1.0.1.g-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.tar

on Linux system?
is for 32bit system and other is for 64 bit system linux machine.
How to untar them?
I tried few commands but did not work.
I need to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1.g as it is not vunlerable to some threats CVE-2014-0160
Current version are as below:-

rpm -q openssl
openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7.x86_64

Thanks,
manali

Where did you get these files ? The ".tar.tar" extension is dubious. Might be Archlinux packages.

AFAIK: Arch uses AUR packages, at least if its Arch only.

Other than that, how about:

su -
yum update openssl

Since Fedora Rawhide (devel) already provides: openssl-1.0.1h-3.fc21.x86_64
I'd assume g might be available in the epel6 repos.

If not, i'd highly recomend to re-download it from its original source: OpenSSL: Source, Tarballs
EDIT: to untar simply: tar axf filename.tar.gz

Hope this helps

This is one way to install source tarballs,

[akshay@nio test]$ pwd
/home/akshay/Desktop/test

[akshay@nio test]$ wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0a.tar.gz

[akshay@nio test]$ ls -1
openssl-1.0.0a.tar.gz

[akshay@nio test]$ tar -xf openssl-1.0.0a.tar.gz; ls -1 
openssl-1.0.0a
openssl-1.0.0a.tar.gz

[akshay@nio test]$ cd openssl-1.0.0a

[akshay@nio openssl-1.0.0a]$  ./config --prefix=/home/akshay/Desktop/test/ssl --openssldir=/home/akshay/Desktop/test/ssl/openssl
...
...
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/akshay/Desktop/test/openssl-1.0.0a/test'

Configured for linux-x86_64.

[akshay@nio openssl-1.0.0a]$ make ; make install
...
...
cp openssl.pc /home/akshay/Desktop/test/ssl/lib64/pkgconfig
chmod 644 /home/akshay/Desktop/test/ssl/lib64/pkgconfig/openssl.pc

[akshay@nio openssl-1.0.0a]$ cd ../ssl/; ls -1
bin
include
lib64
openssl

[akshay@nio ssl]$ cd bin; ls -1
c_rehash
openssl

[akshay@nio bin]$ ./openssl

if you do not specify prefix then default location /usr/local will be used

But how to know whether it is 64 bit or 32 bit i need packge for both 32 and 64 bit
i downloded this from above link

4475692 Jun 5 13:24:28 2014 openssl-1.0.1h.tar.gz (MD5) (SHA1) (PGP sign) [LATEST]

Have a look at:

yum info openssl

And just asking, why would you need both, 32bit and 64bit on the same machine, isnt that a security/compability issue?

EDIT:
Just something (general info) i found there: OpenSSL: Support, Frequently Asked Questions

Now, me want to build this too, in theory, you could simply run this script on both a 32bit machine and a 64bit machine, to get the specific build.
NOTE there are instructions how to do both on a single machine (AFAIK must be 64 bit though), but thats 'too much' for me as of now, see INSTALL or README for more details.
