what does config.log say? and does it report any problems with
finding openssl?

the problem may be that the shared libraries can't be found at
runtime, in which case you will need to set the rpath in the binaries
that are built. you didn't mention which platform/compiler you're
using, but this is done using the -Wl,-R<directory> argument for gcc
and Sun Studio compiler/Solaris ld, at least (-Wl passes the next
argument to the linker, -R tells the linker to include this path in the
binary's rpath).

grant.
