Issues installing openssl on lambda/nodejs base image

Question

I'm trying to install `openssl` on `public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:20` which is based on Amazon Linux 2023.
I tried to install it on `amazonlinux:2023` and it works, using `dnf install openssl`.
and I verified it:
```
bash-5.2# openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023)
```

However, when I try to do the same on the `public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:20` image, I get:
```
bash-5.2# openssl version
openssl: symbol lookup error: openssl: undefined symbol: SSL_get_srp_g, version OPENSSL_3.0.0
```

I'm not sure what causes it or why there is a difference.
How can I fix it so I can use `openssl` in my lambda functions?

Accepted Answer

to install python modules, use empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

```
FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:20

RUN dnf upgrade -y
########## CUSTOM ######################
RUN dnf install -y \
       python3 \     
       && \
    dnf clean all 
```
```
########## NODE ######################
RUN npm install -g esbuild yarn typescript && \
    npm cache clean --force
```
```
# ########## AWS SAM ######################
RUN LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" pip3 install --no-cache-dir --upgrade awscli aws-sam-cli
```

To confirm CLI and SAM were working,  `docker exec -it  sh` into a running container, and my `aws --version` command failed with urllib3 not finding ssl, but I noticed that my shell had `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lang/lib:/lib64:/usr/lib64:/var/runtime:/var/runtime/lib:/var/task:/var/task/lib:/opt/lib` - setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""` in my shell let me successfully run CLI and SAM from the shell to check their versions:

sh-5.2# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""

sh-5.2# aws --version

aws-cli/1.30.3 Python/3.9.16 Linux/6.3.13-linuxkit botocore/1.32.3

sh-5.2# sam --version

SAM CLI, version 1.103.0
