I am getting a linker error with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH gives me /usr/lib

In /usr/lib there is a libcrypto.so.1.0.0

And in my gcc line in the Makefile I have a -lcrypto flag added.

I am not sure how I can fix this problem.

What OS/Distro are you using? – Feb 07 '14 at 21:55
I'm using Ubuntu13.10 – A1A2A3A4 Feb 07 '14 at 21:56
Try `sudo apt-get install libssl-dev`. Or have you already installed that? – Feb 07 '14 at 21:59
Installing that package did it. I'm not sure, what it changed. It should still be looking for libcrypto.so in my /usr/lib, right? – A1A2A3A4 Feb 07 '14 at 22:03
Yes, it searches for `libcrypto.so`, but you only had `libcrypto.so.1.0.0`, which is an indicator that some dev-package is missing. – Feb 07 '14 at 22:04
Ah. Yes, sorry for the duplicate. – A1A2A3A4 Feb 07 '14 at 22:05
