A number of people are having problems with Geekbench 2 and libcrypto on Linux. If you're one of these people try downloading Geekbench 2 for Linux again; I've uploaded a new version that no longer requires libcrypto to be installed.
Update: There was a problem with the updated version of Geekbench on Ubuntu 6 and later; I've uploaded a ahem new new version which fixes the problem.
