Hi Forum, I am facing this wierd in starting squid I have the squid compiled with ssl enabled $ ./configure --enable-ssl --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl $ make $ make install The compilation all works fine but when I execute the squid it complains of not able to find the libssl.so.0.9.8. This is despite the fact that the mentioned library is there on the system with the dir properly appended to LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ locate libssl.so.0.9.8 /home/rnair/squid_files/openssl-0.9.8b/libssl.so.0.9.8 /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8e /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib:/lib64:/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib $ /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -C -d1 -f /home/rnair/squid_files/squid.conf (squid): error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ (squid): error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (squid): error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (squid): error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (squid): error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I know this more of an environment issue but can somebody enlighten me why squid is not able to find the lib despite the library being present there.
