Configure Thrift libcrypto required

Question

I installed Openssl, Openssl-dev on Linux. When I configure Thrift, I get this error:

checking for BN_init in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: "Error: libcrypto required."

Please advise!

Answer 1

On Ubuntu installing libssl-dev package should fix it. If you use another distro, package name should be similar.

Answer 2

On debian 8, sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev solves the issue.

Answer 3

On Amazon Linux (and possibly CentOS/Fedora/RHEL), you will need to install openssl-devel

Answer 4

on Ubuntu 18.04, run this: sudo apt install libssl1.0-dev
