Thanks, Jeff.
I gave both methods a try, but none of them succeeded.

When running my ./configure, it always claims:
Building with SSL support ........... : no

During the run, the only output line concerning ssl is the following: 
checking for SSL_read in -lssl... no

But I think this line just tells me what I'm already aware of...

Regards,
Christian Schmidt
