You don't have to upgrade the Linux version, just the openssl library.
It looks like the program you're trying to run now requires an updated
version of libcrypto (part of openssl).
Rebuilding is pretty simple:
Grab the source rpm for the openssl package.

rpm --rebuild openssl-VERSION-src.rpm
The final packages will be available in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
However, looking at your post suggests something else entirely. When you
tried installing openssl-0.9.6b, did you do:
rpm -ivh openssl-i386.rpm
or
rpm -Uvh openssl-i386.rpm
The latter is the correct for *upgrading* a package. If you use the -ivh
option it will try to install but see that an existing package already
owns the files in question.
