I have finally getting the libextractor installed in my environment
(RHEL 5.x), and would like to share what I did with the community:

yum install glib
yum install libltdl.so.3
yum install libstdc++.so.5

download the libextractor from http://gnunet.org/libextractor/

rpm -i libextractor-0.5.2-1.1.i586.rpm
rpm -i libextractor-debuginfo-0.5.2-1.1.i586.rpm
rpm -i libextractor-devel-0.5.2-1.1.i586.rpm

The fossology 1.1.0 GA worked fine now.
