One option that often works is to get the .src.rpm and build a binary
RPM for your system using "rpmbuild --rebuild packagename.src.rpm".
This will build the binary RPMs to match the libraries that are actually
installed on your system.

However, in this case you don't necessarily have to...  Red Hat provides
a compatible library in the package "openssl096b", which provides the
libcrypto.so.2 file.
