>From your output, I am 90% sure that either your version of libofx is too old, 
or that you have remnants of an older version of libofx.

If you already have libofx 0.6.2, remove libofx* form /usr/lib and 
/usr/local/lib.

If you don't, make uninstall your current version (very important) and upgrade 
to 0.6.2.
