Problem: In Linux, I recently upgraded from Wolfram Desktop 12.0 to Wolfram Desktop 12.1. When I attempt to use SSH functionality
RemoteConnect["192.168.0.123", "username", "password"]
I get:
or in text form:
LibraryFunction: The library /nix/store/g4azpz4jl9bh0x600flp8pdsp6mb027n-wolfram-desktop-12.1 .0/libexec/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Links/SecureShellLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libSecureShellLink.so cannot be loaded.
Solution attempt. When I then check this library via ldd I discover the issue:
ldd /nix/store/g4azpz4jl9bh0x600flp8pdsp6mb027n-wolfram-desktop-12.1.0/libexec/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Links/SecureShellLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libSecureShellLink.so | grep "not found"
yields
libssl.so.1.1 => not found
libcrypto.so.1.1 => not found
If I add
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/openssl/lib ldd /nix/store/g4azpz4jl9bh0x600flp8pdsp6mb027n-wolfram-desktop-12.1.0/libexec/Mathematica/SystemFiles/Links/SecureShellLink/LibraryResources/Linux-x86-64/libSecureShellLink.so | grep "not found"
then the problem goes away; however, if launch wolframdesktop via
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/openssl/lib wolframdesktop
and then try to run RemoteConnect, then I get the same, original error! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore SSH functionality in Wolfram?
