Using "expect" 5.34-8 on AIX 5.3 TL3; can't run "ssh" from expect "

    On a production server, I try to run ssh from within "expect" language and get this:
    spawn ssh -l itimmgr ServerName.ibm.com
    Could not load program ssh:
    Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8) could not be loaded.
    Member libcrypto.so.0.9.8 is not found in archive

    Oh- production is running openssl- 0.9.7d-2

    It works fine on home 43p:
    AIX 5.3 TL5; expect 5.42.1-3, and openssl 0.9.7d-1.

    Where would I find libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (and would it go in the /opt/freeware/lib dir??)?
    There are multiple copies of this file- "libcrypto.so.0.9.7" on the production server (as well as on my home 43p).
    What is causing the prodcution server to need xxxx.9.8 instead of xxxx.9.7??

    Thanks!

    Hi notes386,

    libcrypto.so.0.9.8 is part of the openssl.base.0.9.8 package. The library file is /usr/lib/libcrypto.a.

    You have to search the latest version here:

    Thanks!! Late yesterday, I found someone who had experienced the same error and have opened a ticket to get the AIX Admins to assist. Basically, we need them to remove the libcrypto.a file from /opt/freeware/lib (where "expect" runs from) and setup a sym link to the most current version that ssh uses (found in /usr/lib). I was going to post this answer after I verified for my case, but it worked for him, so hoping it works for me as well... ;-)
    Have a great week!
