I tried to install 32bit linux app (Cadsoft Eagle) on 64bit Ubuntu 15.10 via terminal. This was the result:

error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I already have installed many libraries for 32bit support.

When I try to install this package (sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8:i386), the result is:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libssl0.9.8:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libssl0.9.8:i386' has no installation candidate

What can I do?

libssl0.9.8 is no longer available in ubuntu 15.10 repositories. You can download and install manually the deb file from this link if you want libssl0.9.8 (clic on the link "security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" when you reach that page).

you can install the package downloaded by copying the deb file in your home folder, then open a terminal and enter this command sudo dpkg -i libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb

  • I opened the file (in QApt Package Installer) and I cannot click on the "Install Package" button. – core4096 Jan 02 '16 at 15:29
  • dpkg: error processing archive libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2_amd64 (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2_amd64 – core4096 Jan 02 '16 at 15:35
  • the error you entered means you misspelled the package or gave a wrong path. make sure that the package is in your home directory and don't misspell his name in the command. – Sidahmed Jan 02 '16 at 15:38
  • oh my mistake, now it worked. When i run command `sudo apt-cache search libssl`, it finds `libssl0.9.8 - SSL shared libraries`, but when I try to install eagle, it returns the exactly same error. – core4096 Jan 02 '16 at 15:44
  • may be you need to install the i386 package, you can download it from this link http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/precise/libssl0.9.8 (choose the i386 version). – Sidahmed Jan 02 '16 at 15:46
  • Yeah, thank you. After that, I installed one more package and the installator is working properly :) – core4096 Jan 02 '16 at 15:50
