Sure, that looks fine to me

If you've come that far, MY_NID (which I assume is really
NID_whatever) obviously exists, or your code wouldn't even have
compiled.  One possibility remains, that for some reason, libcrypto
hasn't been initialised like it should.  This can happen if you only
call a very select set of OpenSSL functions.  What happens if you add
this at the start of your main()?

    OPENSSL_init_crypto(0, NULL);

(note, that should be seen as a temporary measure, as this is called
internally in quite a number of spots, so for larger uses of OpenSSL
functionality, you shouldn't need that)

Cheers,
Richard
