If you installed the companion packages from the CD, they are in /opt/sfw:
the sunfreeware packages (or, built-from-source versions) install in
/usr/local, so you don't need to worry about dependencies. It is a bit
simpler to install from source, you *should* upgrade OpenSSL, but you can
build with your existing library packages. If they aren't all in your
library path, use the --with-* configure options to find them, or to point
to the ones you want to use.
