Comment(by rransom):

 Try recompiling Tor (from a clean build tree) with `CFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS`,
 and `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set so that the compiler, linker, and loader can
 find the OpenSSL libraries you want to use, and run Tor with
 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set correctly.

 Also, you should not be using the ‘rsax’ engine unless it really exists
 and works on your computer.

 Also, these OpenSSL errors are not a Tor bug.  The fact that users don't
 know how to compile a Tor binary that uses libraries other than the ones
 provided by the system might be a missing feature, but not a high-priority
 one.
