No, rather this user built the library with "--prefix /usr", but
/usr/lib already contains an OpenSSL 1.1.0 library.  Which does
not have the 1.1.1 symbol versions.

To deploy a second library, it needs to go somewhere else (/usr/local,
/opt/openssl, ...), and then indeed one also needs RPATH so that the
executable and libssl know where to find their dependencies.
