OK, you need to know that the ubsec engine itself is a stub that uses a broadcom-provided library to do the actual ubsec operations, the engine merely slides functionality into openssl that is based on the the broadcom SDK. I think what's happening is that you've got the engine library loading *itself* rather than the broadcom support library. The error you see is just the first symbol that the ubsec engine tries to bind to - and of course none of the expected symbols exist because it's not the broadcom library, it's the engine library. I don't have broadcom hardware nor their SDK, libraries/drivers, etc, so you may need to dig around to get to the bottom of this. But first off, figure out which library is which :-) If the broadcom-provided lib is called libubsec.so, that'd be an unfortunate name-conflict but it shouldn't be catastrophic, because openssl doesn't look for engine libraries in arbitrary locations (doing so would have unquantifiable security consequences) but in an openssl-specific location. The ubsec engine, on the other hand, should pick up the broadcom library using standard library locations - and this is either missing or in a directory that isn't getting searched (LD_LIBRARY_PATH might help here) - it seems you've "fixed" this problem by moving/copying the engine library somewhere visible instead so that it loads itself instead of the broadcom lib.
