SSL Library error and idracadm7

Question

Ran into an SSL library  path error when trying to run an idracadm7 command and realized that I needed to install openssl-devel in addition to openssl for it to work. Just thought I would post here in case others ran into the same issue. Here is there error: ERROR: RAC1170: Unable to find the SSL library in the default path.        If a SSL library is not installed, install one and retry the         operation. If a SSL library is installed, create a soft-link of the         installed SSL library to 'libssl.so' using the linux 'ln' command
