Problem install FOP2 on Amazon Linux

asher@ecsnm.com

Hello,

I am having trouble install FOP2 (fop2-2.26-centos5-i386.tgz ) from tarball on Amazon Linux (EC2).

[root@ip-10-249-44-107 src]# uname -r
3.2.36-1.46.amzn1.i686

When I run the test I get this:

[root@ip-10-249-44-107 src]# /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test
Can't load '/tmp/par-root/cache-4b3df8b00ea32d78fbcfc645d56579285258145ca.so' for module Filter::Crypto::Decrypt: libcrypto.so.6: cannot open shect file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-tlti/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

Compilation failed in require at script/fop2_server.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/fop2_server.pl line 1.

From yum list:
perl-core.i686 5.10.1-127.15.amzn1 amzn-main

I tried the symbolic link fix in a similar post but it did not work.
[root@ip-10-249-44-107 src]# ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.6
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.6': File exists

I am pretty new to this stuff. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you do not find the correct libcrypto file to symlink to, then you might want to try with version 2.27 instead that should be able to work with no symlinks:

Thanks for the pointer, it lead me in the right direction.

I installed 2.27, had the same problem but ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.6 did the trick for me.
