What program are you trying to start? And what version of Fedora?

On F12, if I ask

# yum whatprovides */libcrypto.so.*

one of the answers (the most relevant one) is:

openssl-1.0.0a-1.fc12.x86_64 : A general purpose cryptography library with TLS 
implementation
Repo        : updates
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.10
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0a

I don't know for F13, but on F12 it appears that current version of 
libcrypto.so is 10, not 6. If your program insists on 6, it probably needs 
updating.

Otherwise, a single

# yum install openssl

should provide you with the library, if it isn't already there.

HTH, :-)
