libcrypto.so missing crash

[FrederickGreat]

I have OpenCL, OpenSSL and ATI graphics drivers installed. I extracted the zip to my desktop, opened the directory in terminal, ran xbuild scallion.sln with no error, then ran

sudo mono scallion/bin/Debug/scallion.exe -d 0 prefix

and got

Cooking up some delicions scallions...

OpenSSL.Core.Native ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libcrypto.so

is there "libcrypto.so" somewhere in your PC ?

[lachesis]

libcrypto.so is a part of openssl on my box.

$ locate libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib32/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib32/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

It might be worth trying to install the 32-bit version of OpenSSL. I'm not sure if scallion depends on 32 bit or 64 bit libs on Linux.

Cleaning up and closing this issue. Reopen if your still having issues.

I have the same problem.

I had Scallion working on Windows 8.1, an older Debian install, etc. I just did a fresh install of a machine I built to do this specifically:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Fresh install.
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install fglrx
AMD Catalyst 14.12 (trying the latest)
AMD APP SDK 2.9 (trying the latest)

Then I grab the default branch from git, which is "gpg", and do:
cd scallion/
xbuild scallion.sln
cd scallion/scallion/bin/Debug
~/code/scallion/scallion/bin/Debug$ mono ./scallion.exe -l

I also tried without mono prefix, -d, etc.

Error:

Again, I've built from source 2 times earlier on existing machines (one mining rig, that seemed to work actually) and another Debian machine. But this new machine is giving me problems.

I'm more than happy to wipe it and start over using a specific Linux install (Debian?), specific AMD drivers (the old 11?) and SDK (2.7?), etc. Let me know.

@eduncan911 I was having the same problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. Doing sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev solved it for me.

[theintern1]

Hi I am having a similar issue and installing libcurl4-openssl-dev sadly did not solve it. When I try to use scallion, it gives me this error:
~/Downloads/scallion/scallion/bin/Debug$ mono scallion.exe ipad

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[chris-gunawardena]

sudo yum install openssl-devel worked for me on Amazon Linux AMI with NVIDIA GRID GPU Driver. (Only got 459.1MH/s on a g2.2xlarge. )

[loning]

apt-get install libssl-dev, works for me

[jrruethe]

I can confirm that "apt-get install libssl-dev" worked for me as well.

[exploitagency]

Or on Kali this package...
apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
