Hello Rants,

Has anyone gotten cryptlib to compile with ubuntu? I keep getting a failed compile, I have all the pre-reqs.

Yes, I built cryptlib on Ubuntu last week. Be sure to unzip it with the -a option. Failing to use the -a option will result in a failed build.

Ttyl :-),

Excellent, that fixed it!

Did you extract it so it converts from MSDOS format to Unix? If you don't it won't compile.

I know I've asked this question before somewhere, and I received an answer,
but I'll be damned if I can find it now.

I theoretically have SSH working, except when I try to connect, it's looking for a certificate. Also for the email option after incorrect password.

Where would this certificate be located, and how do you set it up?

The wiki has info on this, you need a specific version of cryptlib and build
it according to instructs per your OS.

The cert is called ssl.cert and usualy sites in your data dir

I got cryptlib installed per instructions, it's now just getting it to "see" the cert. Now that I know where to look, that helps.

Thanks

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.

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

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.
