I also tried this to no avail:   
      
   I created a directory which didn't exist on this old dell system,   
   /lib/i386-linux-gnu/   
      
   Then I copied/created these files there:   
      
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6M 2014-01-26 01:07   
   libcrypto.so.0.9.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18 2014-01-26 01:08   
   libcrypto.so.1.0.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18   
   2014-01-26 01:26 libcrypto.so.so ->   
   libcrypto.so.0.9.8   
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18 2014-01-26 01:26 libcrypto.so.10 ->   
   libcrypto.so.0.9.8   
      
   Still can't run bbbsd..   
      
   I guess I could try installing centos.. this 531s dell system decided long ago   
   it wasn't going to update Ubuntu past Ubuntu 9.10.. eek.   
      
   Meanwhile, I was talking to Jon Justvig, and he's seeing the same problem with   
   BBBSD.. and he's using a very much more recent version of Ubuntu..   
      
   Help Kim    
      
   Take care,
