Try OpenSer from rpm. I've installed it on RH9, and there are no problems with libraries. 
libssl is not linked:
 
#ldd /usr/sbin/openser
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4001b000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x40020000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
 
Also check config file for loading modules depending on SSL.

Hi All,

 

I need your help in installing and running OpenSER (www.openser.org) on RedHat Linux 9.0.

 

I downloaded the latest tarball (openser_1.0.1-tls_linux_i386_tar.gz) and installed it in /usr/local/sbin. But when I try to run by typing  “openser” at the prompt, I see the following error message:

“error while loading shared libraries:libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory”

Basically I could not locate this library in the entire system. I even tried installing the latest openssl library from www.openssl.org., but in vain.

Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks & regards

Srinath
