First check that you have the latest versions of the appropriate packages libssl and libcrypto (i assume that's what you meant) will be in the openssl package
if installing the dependency packages does not fix the issue you can go into the library directory (/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/share/lib) and check if the symlinks pointing to the shared object file are correct. As an example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2005-07-06 10:05 libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2005-07-02 01:23 libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.17 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1139536 2005-01-17 12:25 libxml2.so.2.6.17 taken from /usr/lib on my workstation, you will note that two of the directory entries are links to the actual binary. If on your system for one or more of the libraries you mentioned there is a libwhat.so.3.1.4.1.5.9 and there are no symlinks to it and you are getting errors of the form "libwhat.so.3 not found" then you can TRY creating a symlink ln -s libwhat.so.3 libwhat.so.3.1.4.1.5.9 and run the program again, on some systems you may need to run ldconfig after manually twiddling library files. There are some caveats: if it works, that's a package bug and should be reported to the maintainer, if it really doesn't work then you may need to track down a specific version of the library (eg. segfaults, coredumps, crashes the computer) if it sort of works (you get errors from a completely different source) then you aren't done getting your other program to work, but you can consider this one dealt with. Generally speaking if you've reached this point it's because you've installed broken packages or you've managed to erase certain files or links by accident, RPM based distros seem to get stuck in this trap more often, but I've seen it more than once on systems that use ports or dpkg; it's a consequence of the way shared libraries are handled on unix-like operating systems.
