+There seems to be an issue with the latest CryptLib with 32-bit Linux operating systems that will cause Mystic to crash upon startup.  If you experience this problem it may be worth trying an older version that can be downloaded from the Mystic website:

 In Linux, Mystic looks for Cryptlib in the "libcl.so" file, which must be created by compiling the source code.
+For many installs of Linux the compiler setup is not included by default, check by typing in a terminal:
+  whereis gcc
+You should see several locations (like)
+  gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc /usr/bin/X11/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
+If you get no locations you need to install it, using a terminal do:
+  sudo apt-get update
+  sudo apt-get install build-essential manpages-dev
+Then check again with 'whereis gcc' to make sure.
 The source is contained in the above download section.  Once the file has been downloaded, it must be extracted into its own directory on the Linux machine.  The archive has source files that are stored in the Windows format, so it must be extracted and converted to Linux format.  This can be done by using the "-a" option of unzip.  **If this step is skipped, the source code will not properly compile**.

 You can now delete the /cryptlib directory if you wish.  The library is installed and read to be used by Mystic!
