libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Calculating dependencies ...done!

/usr/bin/wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I just finished installing gentoo and after I rebooted and login, I did an "emerge -u gnome" everything was working fine last nite. went to bed, got up and now this. I know the file libssl.so is on the system (/usr/lib/libssl.so) everything was working before, and now I can't download anything.
any idea what could have caused this?
thanks

I had this same problem on a co-workers desktop machine (who I recently converted to gentoo from redhat). Anyways, he did a big update of his system and openssl was updated to 0.9.7 which deleted 0.9.6 so it removed libssl.so.0.9.6. So you have two options that I know of.

1. You can revdep-rebuild and it will find all of the programs that are hardwired into libssl.so.0.9.6 and rebuild them so they will link with the new 0.9.7.

2. Or you can find another machine that was built for your "~arch" and copy libssl-0.9.6 into /usr/lib

Here at my work I did the second one because revdep-rebuild was wanting to recompile 41 packages and my co-worker had to print an email right then and cupsd was failing because it couldn't find libssl.so.0.9.6 so I just did option two as a quick fix.

You could try to downgrade to openssl.0.9.6 if you still have the package in /usr/portage/distfiles. Since your wget is having the same problem you can't really do option 1 so just try to find a libssl.so.0.9.6.
