anchor test: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1

Question

I'm installing Solana on WSL following this guide: https://github.com/LearnWithArjun/solana-env-setup/blob/main/mac_or_linux_setup.md

When I come to 'anchor test' I get this error: anchor test

BPF SDK: /home/nick/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.13.0/solana-release/bin/sdk/bpf
cargo-build-bpf child: rustup toolchain list -v
cargo-build-bpf child: cargo +bpf build --target bpfel-unknown-unknown --release
/home/me/.rustup/toolchains/bpf/bin/cargo: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried this: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/4470

sudo apt install lsb

Didn't help.

This also doesn't seem to help https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/421153/finding-libssl-on-a-customers-linux#421164

ldconfig -p|grep ssl

I also tried this which seemed to install fine, but didn't help anchor test:

sudo apt install libssl

How can I get anchor test to work?

Answer 1

You almost had it, but you are trying to install the incorrect program.

Inside of your WSL terminal, try installing the libssl-dev package and a few others:

sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config build-essential libudev-dev libssl-dev

If this still does not work, you can try to install the specific version of the libssl binary with these command:

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

PS: Great name! ;)

Answer 2

I was facing the same error and I came across this command hope it helps Sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
