Description rng 2014-10-22 20:30:31 UTC 
Description of problem: When compiling cryptocurrency wallets (example: https://github.com/EdgarSoares/ARCH/releases) the compilation works fine, but when starting up the resulting application you get the following error: "OpenSSL appears to lack support for elliptic curve cryptography. For more information, visit https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OpenSSL_and_EC_Libraries"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssl-1:1.0.1j-0.1.fc20


How reproducible: see above.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile https://github.com/EdgarSoares/ARCH/releases
2. Start resulting application (archcoin-qt)

Actual results: Error message: "OpenSSL appears to lack support for elliptic curve cryptography. For more information, visit https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OpenSSL_and_EC_Libraries"


Expected results: a correctly working application.


Additional info: May be another instance of bug 319901

No, just some EC curves are supported, the bitcoin one is not among them.
