It seems to me that your use of the MD5 function isn't resolved at run-time.
Since you're building a library, the linker doesn't care because it expects
that it will find that symbol later.

When you run ldd on the md5test.so file, what do you get as output? I get
this:

$ ldd md5test.so
        libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xb776f000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7684000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb765e000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7640000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb74f1000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 
(0xb73af000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb73ab000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7396000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77d2000)

If the first line in your output indicates that libssl.so cannot be found
then you may need to update your build file to add a suitable library path
for that library.
