First, check to see that you're not able to have root rights via
'sudo'.  If you can, you can just install it as a package.  If you
can't...

Use './config --prefix=$HOME' (or whatever you want the installation's
root to be), set 'export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/ssl/lib:$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' in your
~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile script, and 'make install' when you're
ready to go.  Get ready to compile everything you need to use the
library yourself.  You will also need to use --with-ssl=$HOME with
most autoconf-generated configure scripts.

You can avoid setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH by linking everything
statically, but I don't recommend it.

(For additional information about issues you will likely encounter,
and the meaning of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as well as important
caveats on its use, see the manpages for ld.so(1) and ldconfig(8).)
