when you don't provide an output file to openssl, and remove the "-binary", then it writes to the console: "openssl dgst -ripemd160 <tmp_sha256.hex". Are you on Windows or Unixoide systems?

No, i'm not on windows. performing the third step returns -bash: svn.hex: No such file or directory

oops, I should stay consistent with my filenames. it must be "openssl dgst -sha256 -binary <adr.hex >tmp_sha256.hex". (I did several tries, and first I used filenames "svn", and then "adr" ...). I just double checked it, it works now.
