VDDK 6.7 doesn't work on RHEL 7 or SLE 12

Hey,

It seems like the VDDK 6.7 releases were built wrong. When trying to use it with openSUSE Leap 42.3 (SLE 12 SP3) and CentOS 7 (RHEL 7), I get errors using the code due to missing libraries.

I ran "ldd" on some of the provided libraries, and I noticed that "libvixDiskLib.so.6.7.0" (among others) links to a lot more libraries than older versions did, including OpenSSL 1.1, which is not available on these distributions.

It seems like VDDK 6.7 needs to be rebuilt on Leap 42.3/SLE 12SP3 or CentOS/RHEL 7 so that it'll work properly.

According to the release note it was never tested with SLES12SP3 but only on SLES12SP1.  Unfortunately SLES12SP1 is out of support since March, 31st, 2017. Are there any plans to continue the support for SLES 12 / openSUSE42?
