Problems upgrading from 1.1.1 to 3.0.2

[westor7]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade OpenSSL 1.1.1.x to 3.0.2 but i get an error on openssl version , please if anyone knows how to solve this would be much appreciated.

Steps for upgrade:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf openssl-3.0.2.tar.gz
cd openssl-3.0.2.tar.gz
./Configure
make
make test
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

After this progress i used openssl version and got openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

uname -a = 5.4.0-74-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Sat May 8 02:35:39 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
which openssl = /usr/local/bin/openssl
sudo find / -iname "*libssl.so.3" = /usr/local/lib64/libssl.so.3
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH = empty

• Thanks!

1. Use ldd $(which openssl) to see what libraries it's trying to load (although the error message states the library).
2. Do ldconfig -p to print out the list of libraries, use grep to find libssl or libcrypto
3. Look in your /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory to see if changes need to be made, the configs in the directory are loaded alphabetically, so doing cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* will show what directories it's trying to load from. You may be missing /usr/local/lib64 from this list.

On ubuntu, x86_64 libraries should be installed in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. But openssl 3.0 configure set up multilib postfix as 64. So you want to run ./configure --libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Step by step fix for debian related OS based on tmshort answer:

1. make sure libraries are indeed found in /usr/local/lib64

ls /usr/local/lib64/
# >>  libcrypto.so.3  libssl.a  libssl.so ...

2. make sure the libraries path is missing from cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* output
3. configure the new path

# add it
sudo echo /usr/local/lib64/ >  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl.conf

# load it
sudo ldconfig

4. you should see /usr/local/lib64 in the list

ldconfig -v |less

5. confirm openssl is working

openssl version
# > OpenSSL 3.1.0 14 Mar 2023 (Library: OpenSSL 3.1.0 14 Mar 2023)

thank you it worked. I just had to point it to the correct location inside the config.

after I use ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to configure my python and reinstall it. it fix my problerm.

thanks @tmshort provide useful infomation to help me find the real reason: when build python, it will build ssl module by default, but if it can't find the openssl package, the ssl module will not be included in result.
