"Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto" error when configuring openssh 4.3p2

807578Apr 4 2006 — edited Apr 5 2006
This is being done on a new install of Solaris 9 (patched) with Studio 11 installed. I complied openssl 0.9.8a with the following:

config --prefix=/usr/local shared
openssl builds fine and the output of openssl version is Openssl 0.9.8a.

When I try and run the configure script with openssh I get the can't find recent Openssl error before the configure script can continue. The config.log reports the following:

"ld: fatal: library -lcrypto not found"

At first I thought the problem was I had to explictly define where the libcrypto file was located so I modified the configure script and edited the -lcrypto line to point to /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so. This didn't help. I have tried defining --with-ssl-dir but that doesn't help either.

Anyone ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
