Fedora 13 libcrypto

I 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

I would hope some real developer fixes this so Fedora and Slackware users can use it.  No telling what other distros it fails on.  What was it built on?  I’m guessing Ubuntu/Debian which in my opinion is the most broken fork existing. 

Please guys.  Help us out.

Thanks.

I’m having my wedding today so I dont have time to code.    😲

Mazel tov!

Don’t be hatin’ on Ubuntu though. It’s a good OS, and it’s helping to drive Linux adoption in the home.

Try building yourself when you get some free time on the honeymoon! 😁

Alternatively, try this build: (x86_64 only, sorry) http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-r102

Thanks for the link to that binary.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. The bash shell gives a “cannot execute binary file” error.

I guess bitcoin-r102 is a 64-bit binary, and I’m running 32-bit Fedora.

True. This is only a 64-bit binary.

If no one else gets a binary uploaded tonight, I will try my hand at building one tomorrow morning.

… I will try my hand at building one …

I’ll pledge my first hundred bitcoins to anyone who can post a 32-bit Fedora version. I’d pledge more, except I don’t know how many I’ll be able to generate. Perhaps other 32-bit Fedora users can add their pledges to mine.

Please try the 0.3.1 release candidate, it should at least resolve the libcrypto dependency:

topic 383

Let me know if that works.

Thank you! So far, so good.

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.

# Maybe look at
yum search crypto | egrep -i "(ssl|crypto)"

# Shot in the dark.
yum install compat-openssl

I only have Fedora12 (been advised to say away from 13, maybe its unlucky!)

Hopefully I can have an OBS build up at https://build.opensuse.org/project/packages?project=home%3Adlmiles over the weekend. This should allow a native Fedora build to exist.

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.
