I understood that, but how do I fix it? I cannot get to recompile Python!

The problem is that they are both installed and even when I create symlinks, it
doesn't work. It goes further(the libraries needed are found, except one) but
keeps saying the same thing for "libcrypt.so.0". I'm stuck.

Python and OpenSSL are not shipped with Solaris, I took the packages from
Sunfreeware.com.
