[SunHELP] installing snort

I'm working on installing snort on a Solaris 8 box.

I've Downloaded and installed gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local, 
snort-1.8.1-sol8-sparc-local, libpcap-0.6.2-sol8-sparc-local, 
tcpdump-3.6.2-sol8-sparc-local, and openssl-0.9.6-sol8-sparc-local from 
www.sunfreeware.com

Now when I run snort, I get

bash-2.03$ /usr/local/bin/snort
ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/snort: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.6: open failed: No such 
file
  or directory
Killed

su doesn't help any either...

bash-2.03$ su
Password:
# /usr/local/bin/snort
ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/snort: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.6: open failed: No such 
file
  or directory
Killed

the file does exist on the machine...

# find / -name libssl.so.0.9.6 -print
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6

What do I need to do to let the machine know?

Thanks.
