RedHat has changed the OpenSSL RPM so that openssl-0.9.6 provides
libssl.so.1, where the old one provided libssl.so.0.  Ditto for libcrypto.
Either try installing the "openssl095a" package (in addition to the
"openssl-0.9.6" package), or make link the missing library in /usr/lib.
Try "ls -l /usr/lib/libssl*" to see what you currently have.
