Installing OpenSSL on FreeBSD

[LuckyTaxi]

Ok, I read the topic regarding installing OpenSSL in the freebsd's handbook, but now I'm lost. I enabled the 'MAKE_IDEA' line in the /etc/make.conf file.
Now what do I do?

BTW...I thought by installing the OpenSSL port would fix my problem (I couldnt install evolution 1.0 w/o OpenSSL), but that didnt work.

The handbook mentions that I should rebuild my source by doing a 'make world.' Well, I'm lost! Any help would be appreciated!

Is there a port for OpenSSL? I dont use FreeBSD much and OpenBSD comes with this stuff already installed for me... If so use that. If not, there should be some instructions on openssl.org. Im not sure why you would need to do a make world, but its a good idea anyway (after you update your source through cvs). A make world (in the source tree) will rebuild the entire OS's source.
