Just the obvious one, they expect you to have different versions of the libs 
than you have. :-/  Check the README/INSTALL doc very carefully for lib or 
package versions and make sure that's what you have.

Also, I just did a "nm -pog /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 | grep SSL_library_init"
and got "/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6:00024850 T SSL_library_init", so at least 
that version of the lib has it.

Now that I think about it, the error message may be trying to tell you that 
the code is missing an include file which would give the compiler the proper 
prototype.  I don't know what header you need, or the code may be missing a 
#define which would pull in the proper header.  These things can be "fun" to 
track down.

Good Luck!
