Are LDFLAGS -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread added?

@darisc were you able to solve this problem? I’m also getting the same error. Funny thing is that on centOS, the lua client works but not on Ubuntu 12+

```
      I got it to work if you install libssl0.9.8 only and don't 

```

install libssl as what the ubuntu c client instructions say and symlink

```
sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so

```

I’m too new to linux and C to know why this is the case.

The library require libssl1.0.0.

Please verify that’s the version “apt-get install libssl-dev” installed the correct version. If not, “apt-get update” may be required.

Thank you @wchu, it appears that the instructions for the ubuntu build is incorrect. It tells us to install 0.9.8
