hi all
i have a problem when i start some programms i get that error
error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and i downloaded the latest openssl and installed it in /usr/local/ssl but the problem still exist and i cant find the libssl.so.0 in /lib ...
and by the way wget is working fine..

that problem is came after i installed gnome and when i try to start it its give me the same error
gnome-sission :error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
any idea about that problem?

check /usr/local/ssl for libssl.so.0, if it's there, add /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ( as root) ldconfig.

hi..i didnt find libssl.so.0 in /usr/local/ssl there is only libcrypto.a libssl.a in /usr/local/ssl/lib
any idea?

Sounds like you're compiling from source and haven't enabled shared libraries (they're disabled by default AFAIK). You need to add the shared option to your config command.

yehh jawkins you right i reinstalled openssl with shared option and every thing is okay..thanx alot

hi it seems another shared lib are mising when i try run gnome or mozilla i get an error

/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7/mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXfixes.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

then i went to http://www.slackware.com/pb/ and downloaded x11-devel-6.8.2-i486-1
and installed it but i didnt found libxfixes.so.3 in /usr/X11R6/lib and i searched google many times to find where can i get that lib but i didnt find any thing
cany any body help?

Hi,
Is this always the case? Or in other cases shared libraries are enabled (when compiling libraries from sources) ?

Regards,
Daniel

If you really need just this library... don't waste time by cimpiling. Many RPM repositories carry idividual libraries which you can install with rpm -ivh lib*.rpm

@shashir: as u can see, I use Slackware - no rpm, only tgz.
On the net I couldn't find this lib, but other libs exist in tgz

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 is a link to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3.0
if you have the last, just make the link.
the lib is from : x11-6.8.2-i486-1.tgz
( maybe just reinstall it if it's not there )
