The exceptions message tells you exactly what is going wrong.

Your init function is initHoloLib, but you import hololib which expects 
an inithololib function.

Either your module name should be HoloLib.so (change the link target to 
-o HoloLib.so) or your init function should be inithololib (change 
%Module HoloLib to %Module hololib in your sip file).
