Need help: libcrypto not found
« on: December 05, 2005, 08:39:16 pm »
Hi,

I just installed Xordan\'s awesome .bin package for .12. Thanks for the installation! Just got one problem: When I run the updater, my system complains about libcrypto. Take a look (come on, don\'t blame me for being root, I\'ll fix that later :p):

[root@66-226 planeshift]# ./updater
./updater.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So how can I fix this? My system is a:
Fedora Core 4 (Stentz)
2.6.14 kernel on a i686

Thanks in Advance,

Aljosha From The Netherlands

PS. Yes of course, I patched my with the .bz2 pack!

Install it via your package manager. I\'m not sure what package it is, but I guess that\'s what the search feature is for.

Thanks, but it wasn\'t the problem. I had libcrypto, but it was called libcrypto0.9.7f instead of libcrypto0.9.7. I made a symlink:

ln -s /lib/libcrypto0.9.7f /lib/libcrypto0.9.7

(updating right now, thanks for the installer, it should be included on the downloads page!!!)

Had the same problem on a Linux64 box with FC4 and solved it by simlinking

/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a to /lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

I wish distros wouldn\'t make up their own naming scheme for their libs, without making symlinks.... Guess there\'s nothing anyone can do about that :(

It is 0.9.7f version of openssl installed in FC4. May be applications should use more general libcrypto.so link?
