Why my programm is asking for libssl.so.7?

[gboelter]

Sorry guys,

I'm really not sure if this is a Qt related problem or more a Linux related problem.

I have developed a program under Linux (Fedora 9) with SSL Support. The prorgam works fine for me but now I have tried to move the program to another machine (Ubuntu 9.04).

And there I got these errors:

error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.7
error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.7

error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.7
error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.7

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Why that? On both machines "openssl version" gives me

OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007

OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Why the program is asking for libcrypto.so.7 and not for libcrypto.so or libcrypto.so.0.9.8 or something else?

I know, I could fix it with a symlink, but is there a better way to do that?

If not, is there a way to link libssl and libcrypto static to my program?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

What does ldd return on your application on both machines?

Hi wysota,

What does ldd return on your application on both machines?

thanks for the response. I know already what's causing this issue. It's not "my" program, it's Qt's libQtSql.so.4.5.2 what's doing this funny things and this has something to do with Fedora.

I have compiled the program now directly under Ubuntu and there I don't need libbssl.so.7. But if the program is compiled under Fedora, then libssl.so.7 is required.

By the way, libbsl.so.7 is a symlink to libssl.so.0.9.8g. libQtSql also needs libcrypto.so.7 as a symlink to libcrypto.so.0.9.8g.

It's a little bit confusing, but I can live with that ...

Thanks again.
