Hmm.. did your crypto compile properly when you compiled erlang?

try an ldd on the crypto driver

#> ldd <erlangpath>/lib/crypto-X/priv/lib/crypto_drv.so

where erlangpath is where you installed erlang and X is the version of crypto.

you should see something like:


Code:

magenta:~ # ldd /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/crypto-1.5/priv/lib/crypto_drv.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (0xb7ea5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e89000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d69000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)


Maybe that will give you a hint... It might be some more simple problem but this is what comes to my mind...

I also get this error:

I'm using Windows XP SP3, Erlang 5.6.3.

EDIT:
My solution: install OpenSSL.

i had a slightly different problem where all calls to anything crypto related was failing; crypto, ssh, ssh_sftp were all being ignored in erl like the module just didnt exist.

Mazen's hint above gave me the idea to check my openssl and though i _thought_ i had it installed i didnt have the dev headers supplied, on ubuntu, by package libssl-dev.

a rebuild and it's all good!

i post this here only in the chance it might help another!
