openssh unix dev - Jul 2002 - impedence mismatch between openssh 3.4p1 and openssl 0.9.6d on SCO OpenServer 3.2 5.0.6

Hi, I have been trying to build openssh 3.4p1 on SCO Open Server xxx
It requires the libcrypto.a library produced by OpenSSL.

So, I downloaded and installed OpenSSL 0.9.6d.

As part of the configure process for OpenSSH, 'configure' checks for
version of libcrypto.a with RAND_add().

RAND_add is defined in rand_lib.c and during the build of OpenSSH, I
can see that rand_lib.c is compiled and linked into libcrypto.a

However, when I run configure for OpenSSH, it complains:


	configure: error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see
	config.log for details) ***

Do any of you folks have an idea why this might be.

Do you have rs506a loaded?
Did you install in /usr/local/ssl ?
Did OpenSSL's make test pass?
Have you tried a current snapshot?

BTW it works fine here
