Error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1

openssl

When I run "openssl" I am getting an error as below :

openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

This happened after I attempted to update OpenSSL according to this article

Is there anyway to fix this?

OS : CentOS 6.8
Web server : nginx/1.10.2

Update #1 :

[root@host ~]# yum info openssl

I was having the same issue after install the last version of openssl 1.1.0c, I resolved the issue copying the library files libcrypto.so.1.1, libcrypto.a and libssl.so from /usr/local/lib64 to the share library at /usr/lib64.
After copy the libraries you need to create the symbolic link.

ln -s libcrypto.so.1.1 libcrypto.so
ln -s libssl.so.1.1 libssl.so

After creating the symbolic link rebuilding the ldconfig cache was required as well:

sudo ldconfig
