fail to install luacrypto

[lsevero]

Same issue here, and it is the same issue described at #46 .
The solution is to install libssl version 1.0.0 as described at that issue.

However, the most recent linux distros doesn't have libssl1.0 in the repos. I tried to install luacrypto on both Ubuntu 19.04 and in a docker with alpine linux:latest with no results. The docs says that luacrypt is compatible with libssl 0.9.7+ but that's just not true, there was some breaking changes in libssl1.1 and luacrypto has not been updated.

I think the solution is to use an old ubuntu/debian docker image which has libssl1.0 in the repos if you want to insist in lua, pretty bad situation.

The solution is to install libssl1.0-dev, as @lsevero commented. Here you can read the whole thread: rvm/rvm#4764.

Shortly said, what you need to do in debian is mentioned below (i'm running debian 11) It at least compiled after running configure script:

1. as root edit /etc/apt/sources.list.
2. add deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt install libssl1.0-dev

The thread mentioned above is kinda old but this solution is from april 2023, so it should work for now.
