Hello,

While running an application linked with aerospike-c-client library I am getting the following error: Error: could not open ‘/opt/dn/mgmt/lib/XXX\_system.so’ (/opt/dn/mgmt/lib/libaerospike.so: undefined symbol: RAND\_seed)

This was tried with aerospike-c-client version 4.3.17. The OS details are: **Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS**

There were some comments on a similar issue related to version of libssl or libcrypt libraries, so adding relevant information:

**# dpkg -l | grep libssl**

ii libssl-dev:amd64 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.23 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files

ii libssl-doc 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.23 all Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development documentation

ii libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.23 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries

**# dpkg -l | grep libcrypt**

ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.1-1ubuntu1 amd64 disk encryption support - shared library
