/sbin/ldconfig ?

Ensure that wherever you installed libole2 (which would be /usr/local
if you didn't take special measures) is "known" to your system.
There's a "gotcha" with Red Hat Linux (maybe other distros) whereby
/usr/local -- where almost all GNU software goes by default -- is
unknown territory, with /usr/local/bin not in the PATH.
