That was it.  Thanks.

That works too.  Thanks again.

No, you got it right.

Fedora is shipping 1.1.1l so openssl version -d gets the system code and 
system libraries.

I have 3.0.1 installed in /usr/local/ssl
The build stuff for the code I'm testing knows to look there.
My attempt to check things by running ./apps/openssl version -d
was picking up the old 3.0.1 libraries which were built with an old
buggy --openssldir=

My code is happy now that I have installed the new libraries
built with the correct --openssldir=
