Aircrack-ng suite "Cannot open libssl.so.0"

flyinggeorge · 05-16-2013, 08:33 PM

Hello, I am trying to run the aircrack suite, but every time I try to use one of these programs (aircrack-ng, airodump-ng) I am given an error message and the program quits.

Code:

aircrack-ng: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I googled and one suggestion was to re-install openssl and configure with the "-shared" option before compiling. Which I did to no avail.

I looked in the /usr/local/ssl/lib directory and found a file called "libssl.so.1.0.0" but no libssl.so.0. I tried to

Code:

$ ln -s libssl.so.1.0.0 libssl.so.0

Also no luck. There was also a file called simply "libssl.so" which I also tried to ln -s without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

*Edit I also added /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Still no luck.

Run:

Code:

ldd $(which aircrack-ng)

See where it's looking for that exact library.

Okay, ran the command and got this:

Code:

bash-4.2# ldd $(which aircrack-ng)
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf773d000)
        libssl.so.0 => not found
        libcrypto.so.0 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf75b8000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7776000)

Not sure exactly what to make of this. Except I am still missing libssl.so.0 and apparently also missing libcrypto.so.0

Have you tried to reinstall aircrack or the openssl libraries?

Code:

apt-get install aircrack-ng
