I'm editing the question and putting @chadfermanxto 's answer here so that the question appears as answered.

"After digging ito this and running each piece in verbose mode I found that it was looking for 2 libraries that on RHEL 6.4 are named weird. There are:
libssl.so.0.9.8e
libcrypto.so.0.9.8e
I created sylinks to these files and errors went away. "

Wow, you brought a question and an answer! Thanks! I had seen this in some cases but had not yet delved into it. Thanks! I'll validate what you've done and see if I can work around the issue in the first place.

P.S. you may as well do some cut & paste and post your answer as an "answer", and get the karma benefit.
