Quote from: chupacabra on July 12, 2010, 7:27:30 PMI get this when trying to run bitcoin:
[michael@fed13 64]$ ./bitcoin ./bitcoin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Fedora 13 uses this:
/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0a
How can I get around this?
I tried a symlink and running ldd and ldconfig to no avail.
Thanks
No its a breaking DSO major version change. The problem with Fedora is that it cuts backward compatibility ASAP, where as for RHEL/CentOS there would be compat-openssl providing the libraries you need.
That is irrelevant to building. bitcoin requires ECDSA, which Fedora will not include due to patent issues. A custom openssl build is a requirement on Fedora, in order to build bitcoin.
