I was having the same issue after install the last version of openssl 1.1.0c, I resolved the issue copying the library files libcrypto.so.1.1, libcrypto.a and libssl.so from /usr/local/lib64 to the share library at /usr/lib64.

After copy the libraries you need to create the symbolic link.

ln -s libcrypto.so.1.1 libcrypto.so
ln -s libssl.so.1.1 libssl.so

After creating the symbolic link rebuilding the ldconfig cache was required as well:

sudo ldconfig

With your original version of OpenSSL it knew how to find the shared libs because /usr/lib64 is included in the linker's search path. When you downloaded and compiled a "local" copy of OpenSSL, the shared libs were placed in /usr/local/lib64 by default. So you probably just need to add this directory to the search path of the linker, like this (as root):

echo "/usr/local/lib64" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl.conf

then execute:

ldconfig

I believe this will resolve your issue.

I got this error using Termux on ChromeOS, which caused the npm and node command line programs to crash.

Running pkg upgrade fixed the problem!

You can reinstall it using

yum install -y openssl-devel

What @benedict said worked for me. However you may find that some of the symlinks are pointing to older versions. Running ls -l libcrypto* from the /usr/libs will show you the links. As in the below example:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 21 15:28 libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.1.0

Then you would want to remove the existing link first by typing sudo rm libcrypto.so and then copying libcrypto.so.1.1 as @benedict mentioned. Finally you can create the new link.
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.1 libcrypto.so

Hope this helps.

The libcrypto.so belongs to openssl-libs package. If you manually force removed (with --nodeps) this package or corrupted it by upgrading it, you will lose access to yum, wget, curl, ssh, etc. If the system has Internet access, download the openssl-libs using the command /usr/bin/GET. The syntax would look like the below if you're trying to restore version openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64:

/usr/bin/GET http://downloadURL/openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64.rpm > openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64.rpm

This will create openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64.rpm package for you, you can use this to either re-install or extract the missing .so file.

I am gone through the exactly same issue... I have solved it by running the following commands.

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1

This will create a softlink and you are good to go.

This is best solution I have found around ...other solutions provided all over the internet, will not survive system reboot ;)

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf

Comment lib directory settings and add good path

# libc default configuration

#/usr/local/lib

/usr/lib

When you are done editing, run this command:

sudo ldconfig

Then you will have good setting when you run:

ldd /usr/bin/openssl

After building and installing open ssl openssl-1.1.0f, I fixed same error for lib libssl.so.1.1 creating a soft link :

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1
