Answer 1

There's a newer version available currently 1.1.0g. You should check https://www.openssl.org/source/ to see what's available.

You should read the INSTALL file before doing anything else.

You shouldn't be seeing ./config: command not found if you're in the right directory. Did you run the cd command? Is it possible that the config script lost its execution permission? What does ls -l config say?

make: command not found indicates that you haven't installed the make command. The easiest way to install it, along with other development tools, is:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

There's no need to use sudo for the config or make command. You can use it for make install if you're installing in a location that requires root access.
