No, its very possible. A SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() call can fail,
or the call itself can be #ifdef'ed out.

It may be:
- the nginx centos 6 RPM is linked against openssl 0.9.8 AND
- when using a source build, you didn't stop and start the correct executable AND/OR
- you have some library mismatch/mess on your system


If you don't care about the possible mess on your system and want a fast fix,
just build it statically, as previously suggested.
