If you are using conventional CGI, chances are the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set
by the Web server. You can either set it up in your httpd.conf, or if you
want that for the reason of messing up other programs, you'd have to write
a shell wrapper for it.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/open_client/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
