Mythtv-Light libcrypto error

[kbocek]

Trying to run mythfrontend on a Raspberry Pi 3:

Code: Select all

mythfrontend: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libssl1.0.2 is installed.

Any ideas?

I think most likely reason is you are using a mythfrontend built for a different linux version. If using bintray, make sure you use the version built for your operating system (stretch or jessie). The latest builds are for stretch.

You can try

ldd /usr/bin/mythfrontend

This will show the libraries you are using. Mine shows this for libcrypto

libcrypto.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x73cc1000)

It is using libcrypto.so.1.1 on a build for stretch. Yours wants libcrypto.so.1.0.0 so it is likely built for a different system.

Thanks for the reply Peter.

No this is not manually compiled. It is the mythtv-light package from you guys.

However, it *is* the older .27 package running on the current Debian. So maybe that's the problem.

I know it's supposed to be a bad thing but what about a symlink from the 1.0.0 file name to the installed 1.0.2 file?

0.27 was only available for jessie. It is an unsupported version. If you really want to use it install jessie, but I recommend upgrading your MythTv to the latest version. If you create a symlink for the missing library you will likely just hit another missing library. I do not believe you will get it to work.

Meh. Trying to work around (and avoid) updating my backend on CentOS 6. I've got the packages for 29 from Stephen Collier. qt5.6 is available for this distro. Just gotta do it.

So to upgrade on Debian is just installing 29 over .27 ok? Or should I uninstall all the .27 packages?

Thanks for the help.
