I, I am using Mandrake 8.0. Here is my problem:
Hello, I run Linux Mandrake 8.0 on an i586 system. When trying to install
python2.1-2.1.2-1.i386.rpm I recieve the following messages:
error: failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by python2.1-2.1.2-1
libdb-3.2.so is needed by python2.1-2.1.2-1
libreadline.so.4 is needed by python2.1-2.1.2-1
libssl.so.2 is needed by python2.1-2.1.2-1
I have TCL 8.3.2-7mdk
TK 8.3.2-7mdk
Python 2.0
OpenSSL installed: openssl-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm
openssl-devel-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm
Right now I am concentrating on trying to resolve the libcrypto.so.2
dependency. RPM Find.net does not find any shared libraries with the
libcrypto.so.2 file. A further search on www.megalomania.com indicated that
it came with OpenSSL 0.9.6b-4.
I have installed:
openssl-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm version 0.9.6
openssl-devel-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm
The file I have is libcrypto.so.0.9.6 so I:
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
ldconfig
Running ldconfig -p gave me the following as far as libcrypto:
libcrypto.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2
libcrypto.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
libcrypto.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so
Running ls -l libcrypt* in /usr/lib I have:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119330 Feb 21 2001 libcrypt.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 4 12:20 libcrypt.so ->
../../lib/libcrypt.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Feb 27 23:01 libcrypto.so ->
libcrypto.so.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 4 12:19 libcrypto.so.0 ->
libcrypto.so.0.9.6*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 777612 Jul 12 2001 libcrypto.so.0.9.6*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 28 00:15 libcrypto.so.2 ->
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6*
Sorry about the mess....
Searched the python NGs for the crypto problem and used google extensively.
It seems that the *.so.2 file is also needed by many other programs and
others are having the same problem I am having. But no one is sure of the
solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
