Install the package with the header files.

CentOS 6/7, perhaps Fedora:

sudo yum install -y libgcrypt-devel

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install -y libgcrypt11-dev

Try this (it works for Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit)

wget ftp://
sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.0-5+deb7u3_amd64.deb

If you are using centOS install libcrypt-devel:

sudo yum install libgcrypt-devel

For ubuntu(works for me)

Try to download the package first, download links, note choose the right architecture.

there take amd64 as an example.first we get the link address

On ubuntu, we download the package

wget 

then install it

sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11-dev_1.5.4-3+really1.8.1-4ubuntu1.3_amd64.deb

Maybe there are other dependencies need to install. you can choose to install it one by one, or follow the tips

sudo apt --fix-broken install
