I'm trying to install PhantomJS using the webshot package, SO I run the following on my machine:
webshot::install_phantomjs(force = TRUE)
At the end of the installation process I get the following:
phantomjs has been installed to /home/*******/bin
I go to that route and use the ls command to make sure phantomjs is there. When I type phantomjs on that directory I get the following:
Auto configuration failed
140184250763200:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:185:filename(libssl_conf.so): libssl_conf.so: no se puede abrir el archivo del objeto compartido: No existe el archivo o el directorio

140184250763200:error:0E076071:configuration file routines:MODULE_RUN:unknown module name:conf_mod.c:222:module=ssl_conf
Which is the same result I get when I type the following in R (webdriver::run_phantomjs())
phantom.js started, but cannot connect to it on port 4830. stdout + stderr:

My objective is to use phantomjs in conjunction with the RCrawler package, but this is a necessary step. Any help is very much appreciated.

Try adding a wrapper script for phantomjs executable:
~/bin/phantomjs to ~/bin/phantomjs.bin~/bin/phantomjs:#!/bin/sh
export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null
exec ~/bin/phantomjs.bin "$@"
chmod +x ~/bin/phantomjsRCrawler should now execute the wrapper and phantomjs should pick up OPENSSL_CONF.
