I don't have any direct experiences with FC6 packages. This feels like it
maybe a problem with how the RPMs were built.
Try locating where the plugins were installed and set the environment variable
LIBEXTRACTOR_PREFIX to the directory above (so that the plugins are in
lib/libextractor/*.so). That *may* help. Alternatively, you might just want
to compile LE by hand -- should not be hard.
