From my RH 9 box:

[dave@eden dave]$ locate libcrypto
/lib/libcrypto.so.4
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a
/lib/libcrypto.so.2
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b
/usr/lib/libcrypto.a
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
[dave@eden dave]$ ls -l /lib/libcrypto.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 26 12:53 /lib/libcrypto.so.2 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.6b

Use te locate command to see which versions you have then, if you have
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b, do:

ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b /lib/libcrypto.so.2

which should work.
