I also had this exact problem! (And this post is now the first hit on Google.)

I've got a more complete script here if you're interested: Sudo cp local/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/ config -prefix=`pwd`/local -openssldir=/usr/lib/ssl enable-ssl2 enable-ssl3 no-shared # no-shared builds a mostly static binary # -openssldir will make sure that the binary will look in the regular system location for openssl.cnf # -prefix will make sure that make install copies the files locally instead of system-wide My solution was to build just the openssl binary to avoid overwriting the system OpenSSL installation: wget Can I just simply re-enable all of the disabled features?

I can't run that because then I get the following error: $ sudo apt-get build-dep opensslД®: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.listДЄlthough I have many uncommented sources in my /etc/apt/sources.list file.ДЄny suggestions? I just want to enable SSLv2 and SSLv3, and at least enable compression too. For example, one guide recommends running sudo apt-get build-dep openssl. I found some article online on trying to re-compile OpenSSL without those flags being explicitly disabled, but I can't even get past the first few steps in some of these guides. Rebuild with zlib1g-dev package for zlib support OpenSSL version does not support compression Fresh install of Ubuntu here and trying to use the SSLScan tool, only to find out that I get these error: OpenSSL version does not support SSLv2
