Hello.

I work for an IBM bussiness partner, recently a customer asked for help with some curl errors, basically he had this one:

#curl https://api.dtes.mh.gob.sv/fesv/status
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program curl because of the following errors:
        0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib64/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4).
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.1) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libcrypto.so.1.1 is not found in archive 
        0509-022 Cannot load module curl_64.
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib64/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4) could not be loaded.

So I looked at /opt/freeware/lib64 and libcurl.a is present and the same for /opt/freeware/lib/ libcrypto.a appears to be present. So I realized that this environment only had YUM installed and so I decided to install DNF with -y option and then tried to update curl with DNF, but i keep getting some errors:

# dnf search curl

Has anyone an idea of what is causing this error?

Best Regards.

Thank you very much Ayappan.

Do you suggest to remove /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a and /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a?

Or should I just uninstall openssl?

Thank you very much.

You can go ahead and remove the openssl rpm package.
