This is such a n00b question... but I guess that is where I am right now ;P

I'm using Slackware 10 small and trying to find the path to the openssl binaries.

I'm trying to setup apache but can't get past "SSL_BASE=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7d ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_1.3.31 --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max --disable-module=auth_dbm --disable-module=auth_db"

as I need the correct path...

Any ideas?

I tried using the find command but was only able to locate the doc files in /usr/doc/openssl-0.9.7d

Is there any easy way to find out if a package is installed?

In slackware, packages are listed in /var/log/packages. If you see a file for a package in that directory, you can actually read a description of it, as well as what files it installed.

less /var/log/packages/openssl-0.9.7d-i486-1

Ahh, thanks for the tip!
