How do I fix error while loading shared libraries Libssl.so.1.1

root@localhost:~# spl-token create-token
spl-token: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This happens most often when you update something and libssl.so gets updated. The name gets changed from libssl.so.1.1 to libssl.so.m.n (where m,n are not both 1).

Go to /usr/lib and make a symlink called libssl.so.1.1 to the libssl.so that you have:

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.1.1

spl-token shouldn't be looking for libssl.so.1.1 in the first place. It should be looking for libssl.so…which is (usually) already a symlink to the right thing. The system and/or package update facility takes care of making sure that libssl.so points to the correct libssl.so.m.n.

You should report this as a defect.

Go to /usr/lib and make a symlink called libssl.so.1.1 to the libssl.so that you have:

how do i know the libssl.so.m.n that i have? how do i go to /usr/lib?

how do i know the libssl.so.m.n that i have? how do i go to /usr/lib?

cd /usr/lib
ls -l libssl*

You should see a file called libssl.so.m.n (where {m,n} are each numbers in the range of 0..9).

ive tried it, i get ''ls: cannot access 'libssl*': No such file or directory''
used ls to see, and truly no libssl.
used ''sudo ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.1.1'', did not work so i did ''sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.1''. when i 'ls', it showed libssl.so.1.1 in RED! tried spl-token create-token, now error 40 so i used rm to remove it. PLEASE HELP!

Try installing openssl:

apt install openssl

-- sw

tried it, already installed. spl-token create-token did not work, same message
