Where is your libexpat.so.0? Is it in /usr/local/lib?

If the library is on your system and cannot be found, you can fix this 
in several ways:

1. Use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/openssl/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. Use the crle command to fix a global runtime library path.

crle -u -l /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/openssl/lib

3. Setup the library dependencies at compile time by passing linker
flags:
	-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/openssl/lib
