I need libcrypto.so.6

jonaskellens · 11-25-2008, 12:59 PM

[root@localhost Download]# rpm -iv VirtualBox-2.0.6_39765_fedora8-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.6 is needed by VirtualBox-2.0.6_39765_fedora8-1.i386

Where do I find libcrypto.so.6 or with what program can I install this file ??
Where is it normally located ?

On Fedora 8 it is provided by openssl and it is located in /lib

Code:

# ls -l /lib/libcrypto.so.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1243152 2007-10-15 23:56 /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8b
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 2008-02-20 21:25 /lib/libcrypto.so.6 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.8b

Be aware that support for F8 will drop one month from today. No official updates of any kind after that.

.. And it can be installed with the command
'yum install openssl' (as root) or use the package
manager.
But it is strange, that it isn't there already,
(Virtualbox has usually no problems finding it)
