openssh unix dev - Nov 2002 - Solaris 8, Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto

I have probably trivial problem in OpenSSH installation,
but do not see it - could you help, please ?
The libcrypto has been installed.

caroubier% ls -l /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     2778744 Nov 19 17:53
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a

But the openssh stops with Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto.


Thank you very much in advance,
Elisabeth Porteneuve

Well, what did the end of config.log say? You'll need to find the last
instance of something that looks like the following:

int
main ()
{
RAND_add ();
  ;
  return 0;
}
configure:8517: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith
-Wno-uninitialized -I/usr/local/ssl/include  -I/usr/local/include
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib  -L/usr/local/lib
-R/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lz -lsocket -lnsl  -lcrypto >&5
[** compile error here **]
 
If this doesn't help you you'll need to supply more details (compiler
type and version, openssl version) and possibly a copy of config.log.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
