Hi,

While running tcpdump command on my Fedora 16 machine I am get shared library issue.

[root@mindlanf-4 ~]# tcpdump
tcpdump: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@mindlanf-4 ~]# which tcpdump
/usr/software/sbin/tcpdump

I have tried installing the above lib but still it fails,

[root@mindlanf-4 ~]# yum install libcrypto*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Package cryptopp-5.6.1-5.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package openssl-1.0.0j-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package cryptominisat-libs-2.9.3-1.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@mindlanf-4 ~]#

Let me know if there is anything I am missing to install. please help me to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Does a file libcrypto.so.6(.something) exist in the libraries' directories, and / or possibly have a link libcrypto.so.6 pointing to it?

Below is the output of ls, let me know if i need to create any softlink


[root@mindlanf-4 ~]# ls -l /usr/software/sbin/tcpdump
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 25 16:19 /usr/software/sbin/tcpdump -> /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@mindlanf-4 ~]# tcpdump

I was talking of the libraries' directory, NOT the binaries'.
Try sth like

sudo ldd /usr/sbin/tcpdump
