 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:

-Luckily the archive downloaded in the above section already has these files compiled and ready to go within the archive.  To install Cryptlib then is to simply copy the appropriate file into your root Mystic BBS directory or somewhere in the library path so that Mystic can detect it.

 The following steps can be executed to compile and install Cryptlib:

-  * Type "unzip -a cl3431.zip" to extract the source code ZIP into the /cryptlib directory

+  * Type "ls libcl*.so*" to see the name of the generated library.  For example: libcl.so.3.4.4
   * Move the library into the library path and rename it so that Mystic will find it.  Execute the following:

+  * "sudo mv libcl.so.3.4.4 /usr/lib/libcl.so"
 You can now delete the /cryptlib directory if you wish.  The library is installed and read to be used by Mystic!
