I did not get that, just the older one.

Instead I opted to dig through the one that I compiled and manually move
the openssl and testssl to their respective location, after backing up
the existing one. 

Normally I have no problem with make installs, I just do not want to
have to clean it all up if there is a problem. Personal preference, and
I feel more comfortable moving things around manually at least on a RaQ.

Now I have one last question. A while back I was looking for
libcrypto.so, and it's respective libssl.so.

After making my new openssl engine, I now have libssl.a and libcrypto.a
in the openssl source root dir. I have looked through most of the other
dir in the openssl package, for the .so versions of those files. I can't
find them.

Now I know a .a is an archive, but how can I convert a .a back to a .so?

Thanks
