Getting error with mongod (2.8) "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Question

When I run mongod (from version 2.8), I get the error:

mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried fixing this by running:

sudo ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10
sudo ln -s /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.10

And also:

sudo ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib/libcrypto.so.10
sudo ln -s /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib/libssl.so.10

But it doesn't work, I get the same error.

If I instead do:

sudo ln -s /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib64/libssl.so.10

I get the error:

mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Computer OS: openSUSE LEAP 42.1 KDE.

Solved by symlinking the 64 bit versions instead of 32 bit:

sudo ln -s /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib64/libcrypto.so.10
sudo ln -s /lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib64/libssl.so.10
