Ok, now... if libcrypto.so.0.9.6 actually *is* a library (check it
with "file" command), you should probably remove the .so.1 link. The
general scheme of these libraries that I've observed is, some shared
object, call it "fred", will be libfred.so.x.y.z, and there will then
be various links to it, libfred.so.x.y points to libfred.so.x.y.z;
libfred.so.x -> .x.y; maybe even libfred.so -> libfred.x, though that's
not as common. So, with these links in place, things should be fine.

This means the library is not being found. Most likely it's because
the directory it's in is not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf -- in which
case, no programs can find it, including RPM, so the dependency check
fails.
If the library really is present, you can use
rpm --nodeps when installing Licq (assuming that's the only check
that's failing). However, you still won't be able to use the crypto
features of Licq unless libcrypto can be found.

The missing library issue is another thing. If the library is, in
fact, there, you just need to configure your system so that it will be
found. There should be a man page for ldconfig that will explain this.
If libcrypto is present but your system doesn't find it, check whether
other libraries in the same directory are found; if so, check that
libcrypto doesn't have some brain-dead permissions (so nobody can read
it, for example), and if other libs there are *not* found, double-check
that the directory is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.
If neither of those helps you, we're probably out of my depth and into
some odd system problem. :-p
