openssh unix dev - Mar 2000 - problems running configure

I am trying to run the configure script under SuSE 6.3 and get the same
error message that others have seen being unable to find working openssl
libraries. I tried the patch to configure.in suggested in this list but it
did not solve my problem.

openssl(latest version) compiled and installed with no problems in
/usr/local/ssl. I then installed the ssl mods for apache and the
compilation, installation and operation of apache seemed to be trouble
free. It seems like the openssl libraries are in fact installed correctly.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you,

peter

skim back through the list.. there was a solution..

or 'vi configure'  search for your "OpenSSL" area and add /lib
to
the two variables that are noticably missing it.

Well, this is the directory setup in the openssl rpm (I am trying to
adopt the rpm to solaris).

Which patch do you mean?  I am just using the tarball for 1.2.2p1.

In any case, it seems to me that the problem is not not finding the
include or lib files:  in config.log, I see

configure:1891: checking for OpenSSL/SSLeay directory
configure:1918: gcc -o conftest -I/space/local/include  -L/usr/ucblib

configure: failed program was:

                        #include <openssl/rsa.h>
                        #include <openssl/bn.h>
                        #include <openssl/sha.h>
                        int main(void) 
                        {RSA *key; char seed[2048];memset(seed, 0,
                        #sizeof(seed));
                        RAND_seed(seed,
                        #sizeof(seed));key=RSA_generate_key(32,3,NULL,NULL);
                        return(key==NULL);}
                

So the gcc line seem to be correct.

I'd like to add, that 

1.2.2 works with openssl-0.9.4

but 

1.2.2 does not work with openssl-0.9.4 (above configure problem)
1.2.2p1 does not work with openssl-0.9.{4,5} (above configure problem)

The reason I am trying to use openssl-0.9.5 is that somebody mentioned
a leak (related to the random device) on solaris when using 0.9.4, and
supposedly this leak is fixed in 0.9.5.
