Install Software /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl ERROR
Hi,
When compiling software.Asterisk 1.2.17 in particular i get the following error on FC6.
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
I assume i'm needing some package,but some googling did not help me much.What package do I need to provide this?
Thanks

Hi,thanks for the reply.Its not that
yum info openssl
Code:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
Name : openssl
Arch : i686
Version: 0.9.8b
Release: 8.3.fc6
Size : 3.2 M
Repo : installed
Summary: The OpenSSL toolkit
So it is installed.Any other idea.Is this -lssl part of openssl.Would it normally be under /usr/bin/ld?

The answer you got is correct. Install openssl (and maybe openssl-devel) and that will resolve your problem. Openssl provides ssl libraries, which according to ther error messages you posted are the ones ld cannot find.

I got this error when trying to install the Python package `mysqlclient` on Ubuntu 14.04. This would normally work if you installed all required mysql packages, but I'm using the MariaDB variants now and I got this error. I couldn't find the `openssl-devel` package but did find a package `libssl-dev` (I guess they renamed it to that) and installing that resolved the error .

i take it you did not notice that this thread is 8 YEARS OLD
from 2007
and you are using Ubuntu ( Debian camp)
and this thread is for the very OLD and very out of date Fedora-core 6 ( from 2007 )
fedora is a RPM based operating system
a type that YOU are NOT using
for Debian based OS's the DEVELOPMENT source code headers are in "openssl-dev.deb" files
and NOT in the redhat based "openssl-devel.rpm"
see the naming difference
-dev VS. -devel

True. I was getting the same error message and searching for it on the net didn't gave me very much helpful results. I found this topic however, and with the help of the information here I was able to resolve my problem. So it might be an old topic, the information in it still had value for me.
And I just want to share my particular resolution for this error in case anyone else gets into a similar situation. But maybe that's not really the way you want this forum to be used?
The package naming difference in RPM/Deb makes sense though, didn't think about that.
