I just downloaded prince on Ubuntu 11.10 and wanted to try it.

prince on the command line resulted in the following error:

/usr/lib/prince/bin/prince: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which Prince package did you install? Do you have libssl installed?

I installed prince_8.0-1ubuntu10.04_amd64.deb. sudo apt-get install libssl tells me that there is not installation candidate.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10

How about libssl0.9.8? Or any other package including "ssl"? Otherwise it may be necessary to install the statically linked package, or wait for us to build a package specifically for 11.10.

Thanks, libssl0.9.8 did work. I'm now getting a different error (see below), but I have to investigate that a bit more, and in case I can't solve that I open a new message. I'm currently on a very low bandwidth connection and I assume that this is the problem.
