Description:When Asterisk is compiled with {{--prefix}} set to something other than {{/usr}}, it fails to startup on Linux.

{code:none}
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/asterisk
$ make all install
$ /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
/opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk: error while loading shared libraries: libasteriskssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
{code}

This is because the Asterisk build scripts do not to set the {{-rpath}} [linker option|http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld], which would allow the {{asterisk}} executable to automagically find the {{libasteriskssl.so}} shared object. This wasn't a problem before Asterisk 11, because there were no non-system shared objects for Asterisk to link to at startup.

h3. Workarounds

# Specify the linker flag to configure
{code:none}
$ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/asterisk/lib" ./configure --prefix=/opt/asterisk
{code}
# Specify {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} when launching
{code:none}
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/asterisk/lib # DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on BSD's and OS X
$ /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
{code}
# Use [{{chrpath}}|http://linux.die.net/man/1/chrpath] to add rpath to the exe after the fact.
{code:none}
$ chrpath -r /opt/asterisk/lib /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
{code}
# Disable the Asterisk SSL wrapper
{code:none}
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/asterisk --disable-asteriskssl
{code}

Comma is more portable than equals. Whatever...

I have the same problem with default installation in Centos 6.3.
{noformat}[root@localhost asterisk-11.0.1]# whereis libasteriskssl.so
libasteriskssl: /usr/lib/libasteriskssl.so
[root@localhost asterisk-11.0.1]# /usr/sbin/asterisk
/usr/sbin/asterisk: error while loading shared libraries: libasteriskssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory{noformat}
What do you recommend to use ??Workaround?? or ??patch?? ?

@vladimir - You are probably installing a 64-bit lib in the 32-bit {{/usr/lib}}. The right answer would be to configure using {{./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64}}.

@David M. Lee your suggestion regarding 64bit lib is correct in my case.  This was the cleanest solution.
