False and misleading information

I’ve spoken about this before, but here’s how to install current Eagle 6.5.0 on Fedora 18 64bit.

As before, this may be incomplete for a fresh install, ie, I’ve already installed all the 32bit compat libs. But Eagle expects to find OpenSSL 1.0.0. No other version at all.

You need openssl-libs.i686 to be installed, but that will be 1.0.1e, and none of the existing symlinks are suitable.

$ sh ./eagle-lin-6.5.0.run
/tmp/eagle-setup.11607/eagle-6.5.0/bin/eagle: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, you can just symlink it a bit more…

/usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.1e libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.1e libcrypto.so.1.0.0
