As of September 2023, (the steps outlined by @zoward) essentially still work on Ubuntu 23:

1. Download the latest `libssl1.0.0` package from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/
At the time of writing, the latest package is `libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.13_amd64.deb`
2. Install the package via `apt` or with the GUI
3. Launch the game

I did not have to reload the libraries, but if you encounter problems, consider rebooting.

megatron_6: I tried running Planescape on my machine and it said that it required libssl.so.1.0.0 as a dependency.
Unfortunately I can't install it because the repos can't find it

mediaklan: With Fedora 34 here and (linux) steam installed, here's another way :
- I found these libs from steam :
/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

- symlinked them (copying these works too) to a "lib" folder inside Planescape Torment EE, e.g :
ln -s /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /path/to/Planescape_Torment_EE/lib

- add this to line 9 in start.sh :
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/Planescape_Torment_EE/lib/

- done !
I know you posted this in 2021, but just wanted to say thank you. Your post got me 90% of the way through, a post from VstreeKid got me the final 10%. The bit that didn't work for me was:

- add this to line 9 in start.sh :
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/Planescape_Torment_EE/lib/

I'm on Fedora 40 and found like VstreetKid I needed to add export on the front :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/Planescape_Torment_EE/lib/

After creating the symlinks as per your instructions and working out I needed to add export in front of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I was able to make it a little more generic for future users by reusing ${CURRENT_DIR} defined in # Initialization :

# Initialization
CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd "${CURRENT_DIR}"
source support/gog_com.shlib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${CURRENT_DIR}/lib"

Hopefully your steam symlink trick continues to help more users in the future.

Try using an OS that doesn't suck. All you Linux losers do is whine that people aren't bending over backwards to serve you.

Thank you! I was able to get the game started in Pop! OS 22.04 LTS using your additional tips.
