Are you sure you followed the instructions? It seems to me that you
are using gst-openmax 0.10.0.4 which uses libomxil.so.0, but latest
bellagio renamed the binary to libomxil-belagio.so.0. That has been
changed in the git repository, which is the recommended way to get the
sourcecode right now, not the pre-release tarball.

I'm working on a release to avoid these issues.
