Go back to a previous version of OpenSSL.
There's an incompatibility with newer versions. See the encfs-users ML.
(And after backing up your data, return to the current version.)

Nobody should need to warn you that you should keep backups of
important data. Storing data in an encrypted filesystem makes it even
more important that you keep backups because it complicates the
possibility of data recovery!
