How do you install and/or get mystic to find cryptlib.

I've compiled it and tried to put it in my /mystic directory, but still cannot find it.

Here's a link to the Mystic Wiki:

https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=cryptlib

About halfway down the page is the section on Linux. It tells you how to fin the library and what it's called. Place that library as per the instructions. Mystic also has a "feature" that after making any changes to things like libraries or configurations, you need to restart "mis."

Keep us posted.

I compiled it and have it in my /mystic directory and now /usr/lib after your post; and reading the wiki.

Still says it does not detect it. Is there an ini or cfg file I can create and point mystic directly to the library ?

Can you give us more details as to what version of cryptlib you compiled? Also, what version of Linux and Mystic are you running? Have you tried rebooting after getting the renamed cryptlib into the correct library directory?

I'm starting to grasp at straws with the above questions. The answers hopefully may provide some direction.

I got it working. What I was missing was it was looking for the shared library in /usr/lib64 not /usr/lib as I thought.

I built and installed cryptlib 345 as mentioned in wiki.
I'm running Mystic v1.12 A48 compiled 2023/01/15

Used ldd of the binaries to find that they were loading libraries from /usr/lib64.

Thanks for the assistance.
