The list of SSL packages running on the client host were:

neildub@howaya:~/Desktop> rpm -qa|grep ssl
openssl-1.0.0-6.5.1.x86_64
python-openssl-0.9-5.1.x86_64
novl-sslvpn-service-3.1.2-251.i586
libopenssl1_0_0-32bit-1.0.0-6.5.1.x86_64
libopenssl1_0_0-1.0.0-6.5.1.x86_64

To make this work, on openSUSE 11.3 x86_64, install the following packages:

libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8m-3.3.1.x86_64
libopenssl0_9_8-32bit-0.9.8m-3.3.1.x86_64

The following libraries are not backwards compatible.
