php and openssl with 2 versions on server?

[rmang]

One of our servers (Redhat Linux 6.2) has openssl 0.9.5 in /usr, and is needed for legacy software. I installed openssl 0.9.6 in /usr/local as shared, and linked in ld.so.conf. This allows php to be compiled with openssl, but breaks the legacy software that defaults to the new openssl, which is not good for our case.

Question is, how can we install php (as apache DSO module) with openssl support without linking the new openssl library on the server? If we do it without linking new openssl libraries, when trying to start, we get:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: sk_new_null

configure options:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-gd --with-zlib=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-ftp --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-curl=/usr/local --with-openssl=/usr/local

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out. We compiled the new openssl with the "shared" config option. and only ran make. Then we created a symlink in the src openssl directory for the lib directory to the src directory of openssl, and compiled php with openssl pointed at the openssl src directory. This allowed php to compile with new openssl support even though the server is still linked with the old openssl libraries.
