advise.
TIA,
Victor

Did you try openssl-devel?

sauron.deepsoft.com% yum info openssl-devel

Installed Packages
Name   : openssl-devel
Arch   : i386
Version: 0.9.7a
Release: 43.17.el4_7.2
Size   : 3.6 M
Repo   : installed
Summary: Files for development of applications which will use OpenSSL.

Description:
 OpenSSL is a toolkit for supporting cryptography. The openssl-devel
package contains static libraries and include files needed to develop
applications which support various cryptographic algorithms and
protocols.

BTW: RedHat uses '-devel' for development packages.  I believe Debian
(et
al.) uses '-dev' for development packages.
