I fighted a few hours on the same problem.

Since you use the mint OS I expect it's the same as Ubuntu and Debian.

I had to install openssl to get libssl and libcrypto installed.
The latest version is 1.0.0 but 0.9.8 is also available.

Since there is no version provided in the libraray dependency I didn't know which one was required.
I just tried libssl-1.0.0 and it worked.
