Updated by Manivannan on Apr 30, 2013 in Error | 48 comments

In Ubuntu 13.04 / 12.10 / 12.04 you need to install this library. In Fedora 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 these library has been updated to libssl.so.10 and libcrypto.so.10, So you need to create a symbolic link for it as libssl.so.0.9.8 and libcrypto.so.0.9.8. If not you may get this errors.

utserver: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

or

utserver: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To solve – For Fedora

Run the command one by one in terminal and type the password for the user when prompted.

For libssl.so.0.9.8

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

For libcrypto.so.0.9.8

sudo ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.10 /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

Now try starting the utserver. It should work.

To solve – For Ubuntu 13.04 / 12.10 / 12.04 / 11.10

Run the following command and type the password for the user, when prompted.

sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8:i386

Now try starting the utserver. It should work.

Hope this will be helpful for you!!!
