linux: cannot load ssl library

[Bernard Devlin]

I wrote to support at runrev.com (first time I've ever done that with a
technical support issue - I'm glad to report that I got a prompt answer, and
it fixed the problem).

Here's the answer for anyone else who comes along - the library for openssl
must be symlinked thus:

sudo ln -s <path to libssl.so.0.9.*> /usr/lib/libssl.so

I just checked on three different mainstream linux distros, and none had a
symlink from libssl.so to the openssl library. This leads me to believe that
any linux standalone that relies on encryption or https will fail too
because these links will not exist.

I am entering in the bug report that runrev need to find a better way to do
this.
