As the messages says, you are missing the libssl.so.4 on your system.  Ask
your sys admin to verify whether SSL is installed. It has been my experience
that SSL is not very portable outside the US and I have omitted it from the
OpenGrADS builds. Linking SSL statically is a technical solution, but
unfortunately it violates US export laws since SSL has encryption
technology; I have additional info at the Supplibs wiki:
