Mars,

It appears the machine from which you're trying to clone is missing the proper libcrypto library. You'll need to ensure it is installed using whatever package manager is appropriate for your Linux distribution.

The following command will show you which libraries git-upload-pack is using (and missing):
   ldd $(which git-upload-pack)

That will likely report that the libcrypto library can't be found and needs to be installed.

Good luck, Sean
