Well, welcome to whichever flavor of Linux you're running... BTW,
giving us *that* tidbit when posting help requests would greatly
facilitate getting a useful answer back. :)

That should, indeed, cover you, but...

I have no idea which distribution you're running, so I'll make this as
generic as possible. (Mine, Mandrake, has openssl-0.9.6 installed and
I have *no* libcrypto.so.1, so maybe something is wrong inside the
heads of whoever packaged yours.) Please note that this is a
workaround due to packaging weirdness.
Open a command shell and log in as root. Type "locate libcrypto".
Hopefully that will return just a few lines, showing you exactly where
these files are. Now, cd to whichever directory they live in (likely
/usr/lib or similar). What you'll do now is make a symbolic link,
creating "libcrypto.so.0" as a reference (pointer, shortcut, shadow,
alias, etc.) to libcrypto.so.1:
"ln -s libcrypto.so.1 libcrypto.so.0" Now you should be set.
You'll need to update the system's search path, though, by running
"ldconfig". After this step, the system -- and thus, Licq -- should be
able to find libcrypto.so.0 and start up happily.

The other option would be to download the source of Licq and compile
it yourself; it would thus depend on whatever you *really* have
installed, and you could also disable building of things you don't want
or need. However, this workaround should do the trick; I've seen it
mentioned numerous times.
BTW: This mailing list is archived; the archive site is given at the
bottom of most every post to this list. The archive is searchable, so
going there and plugging in key terms like "libcrypto" may turn up
useful information.
Have fun,
