I just got a new PC with ubuntu 14.04LTS. When I try to run libreoffice I get this error:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I should mention that last week I installed autodesk Maya, which was a huge pain, and involved making symbolic links to some libssl and libcrypto files.
In trying to get libreoffice to run I downloaded and compiled libssl, but that just gave me this directory:
/usr/local/ssl
which has a couple of libcrypto.a and libssl.a files down in the lib sub-directory. What are those “.a” files?
I did sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
or something similar the other day, trying to update libreoffice to see if it would find the .so files it needs. I had no luck.
How can I get libreoffice running?
