I'm using MacOS X 10.7.5 and I need a newer OpenSSL version due to handshake failures. There are several tutorials on the internet and I tried the following:

brew install openssl
brew link openssl --force

Nevertheless, it does not work:

openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011

brew unlink openssl && brew link openssl --force
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e... 1139 links removed
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e... 1139 symlinks created

The SVN issue is not resolved either. Any ideas? I would rather not try the MacPorts way because it may interfere with Homebrew.

If you're using Homebrew /usr/local/bin should already be at the front of $PATH or at least come before /usr/bin. If you now run brew link --force openssl in your terminal window, open a new one and run which openssl in it. It should now show openssl under /usr/local/bin.
