MongoDB 3.0.5 error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: FIPS_mode_set

Question

I am testing MongoDB 3.0.5 and am unable to run ./mongod or ./mongo with the following error:

$ ./mongod
./mongod: symbol lookup error: ./mongod: undefined symbol: FIPS_mode_set

I have libssl.so.0.9.8 installed, which seems to be the required dependency.

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Thanks in advance.

For openSuSE tumbleweed there is a workaround detailed here (it might work on other versions/distributions):

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-20259

zypper in libopenssl-devel
rpm -e --nodeps libopenssl0_9_8
cd /usr/lib64/
ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.0.9.8
ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.0.9.8
