If so, the first thing you should do is start over and do a "Standard" install, or you will be plagued by little problems like this until you ARE and expert. A "Standard" install will let you customize almost anything you might wish to customize, but will then handle the details for you. "Custom" install is for people who want to do unusual things with those details. > EJINSIDE# pkg_add -r links > /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.3" not found > > I decide to try and do the the same to get bash and the exact same thing > happened. > > I did a google search and found an identical error posted on some > russian BSD forums, however I was unable interpret the dialog.

May not find you the answer, but it has a good chance of it, and you will learn something useful in the process, even if it's not what you set out to learn.

E.g. become root, run /stand/sysinstall, and do a post-install configuration, which will let you install additional packages. There are other ways to do it, but that's probably the one least likely to generate more mysteries. Installing the "Crypto" distribution might also be a good solution.
