 In Linux, Mystic looks for Cryptlib in the "libcl.so" file, which is created by compiling the source code.
-There are some pre-compiled versions available at the following link that may work if you copy it to your /usr/lib  directory and delete the ssl.cert file from Mystic's data folder if one exists.  It is suggested that you compile your own version though using the instructions here.
-Pre-compiled: http://www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/cryptlib/
-If you choose to attempt to compile your own from source code, you can use these instructions as a guide:
 For many installs of Linux the compiler setup is not included by default, check by typing in a terminal:
-  whereis gcc
+  gcc -v
-You should see several locations (like)
+If GCC is installed you should see a bunch of stuff printed to the screen, including a version number such as
-  gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc /usr/bin/X11/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
+"gcc version 11.3.0 (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04)".
-If you get no locations you need to install it, using a terminal do:
+If you get no output from gcc then you need to install it.  Using a terminal do:
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install build-essential
-Then check again with 'whereis gcc' to make sure.
+==== Compiling CryptLib v3.4.5 Notes ====
-Once you have gcc installed execute "gcc -v" to see the version.  Follow the instructions below depending on the version of gcc that you have installed.
+CryptLib 3.4.5 requires GCC version 9.x or less because of changes to the Makefile system in newer versions which caused the compilation to fail.  Use the following sections to compile CryptLib based on the version you see when typing "gcc -v".
