Hello Alisha!
Happy New Year!

When I compiled/installed cryptlib 3.4.5 with gcc 10 on Debian 11, I used this (sorry for any unintended linebreaks):
wget
https://cryptlib-release.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/cryptlib345.zip
unzip -a cryptlib345.zip
# for gcc version 10 (existing logic incorrectly detect/interprets
# this as gcc 1.0)
sed -i 's/if \[ "$GCC_VER" -ge 45 \]/if [ "$GCC_VER" -eq 10 ] || [ "$GCC_VER" -ge 45 ]/g' tools/ccopts.sh
make shared
ln -s libcl.so.* libcl.so
mkdir -p ~/cryptlib
/bin/cp -df libcl.so* ~/cryptlib/
...and then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Mystic (MIS) to ~/cryptlib, e.g. /home/bbs/cryptlib.
Maybe the version detection ought to be removed altogether. I wonder how many that are using gcc < 4.5 nowadays when compiling cryptlib...
Best regards
