[CentOS] recovery from loss of libssl.so.4?

libssl.so.4 was erased by accident and now, e.g., iinvoking wget results in:

wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[root at mail src]#

How does one go about restoring libssl.so.4?

[I've tried Google, compiling current edition from source, yum
install, but note 'yum remove openssl' would take out about 140
features.]
