confd and libcrypto question

[khgrant]

Hi,

I’m going in circles J and cannot start confd due to:

[config-sol@localhost confd-6.2]$ !840

confd --foreground --verbose

"Bad configuration: /home/config-sol/confd-6.2/etc/confd/confd.conf:0: cannot dynamically link with libcrypto shared library\n"

When I installed confd and got the error – so I went an installed the libcrypto per below – but still same issue.

REQUIRED LIBRARIES NOT FOUND

ConfD requires a version of the libcrypto.so library that could not

be found on your system:

        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found

The missing library must be installed using exactly the name shown above
to succesfully run ConfD. If you have the correct library version
installed using another name, this problem may be solved by creating a
symbolic link to the installed library with the name ConfD requires.

However, when I try to install that – it is not available. Seems the version is libcrypto.so.6:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install libcrypto.so.1.0.0

Hi Team,

Just saw this:

If you have the correct library version

installed using another name, this problem may be solved by creating a

symbolic link to the installed library with the name ConfD requires.

In what directory do I create this symbolic link?

Hi Julie,

What is your use of ConfD? Is this a specific project driven need for ConfD or are you just experimenting?

You can also create a symbolic link with the required name for libcrypto.

Under /usr/lib64 run

ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.1e libcrypto.so.1.0.0

It looks as though the Linux distro has OpenSSL 0.9.8e.  Take a look at section 27.15 of the ConfD User's Guide and the instructions for that.  If you have problems, let me know and I can work through them with you.

Best regards,

Greg Olin

I used Naom’s symbolic link – worked great.
