any ideas on how i can fix this?

rh 7.0
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)

From the error it looks like libexpat.so.0 is not found. Look for that file or something similar name such as libexpat.so.1. If for example .1 exists you can sym link .0 to .1.
