Licq and missing libraries

[Hairybloke]

While installing licq (on my redhat 6.2 box) from the rpm it couldn't install as the following libraries are not on my system:
libcrypto.so.0
libssl.so.0

Where can I find these libraries? I have searched around for ages now and been unable to find anything. Is there an online database of shared libraries somewhere?

You want OpenSSl and for the king of all online program archives: Get yer RPM's here (http://rpmfind.net)

There's also freshmeat.net but that's iffy.

You want OpenSSL for LICQ.

I got the tarball and compiled and installed it. Everything went fine, but when I tried to install install the rpm it said it still couldn't find libcrypto.so.0 and libssl.so.0. Would this be a problem with the rpm manager or has the install not worked correctly. If its just the RPM manager should I just compile Licq instead.

Btw, I tried installing Licq through the RPM anyway, and when I tried to load it it gave me the same error message (can't find libssl.so.0). This is why I don't think its the RPM.

When you install LICQ type:

rpm -i licqXX-XX.rpm --nodeps

where the XX's are the normal incomprehensible numbers all rpm's have.

Thanks for your help so far, but unfortunatly it still didn't work. I'm starting to think the libssl.so.0 object file hasn't been placed correctly.
