Or you can just do what I did. Find a old package for your linux
system and install that.

On my Ubuntu box v11.10, I simply found a old openssl-0.9.8o.deb that
was meant for version 10.x. The deps on the package stated something
like:

libc >= 2.4.3

So it just installed and ran fine. PyPy is now happily running on my machine.
