Can't configure Openssh

Hi,

Not sure if the mailing list is working today....nothing happens when I subscribe.

I'm running some older Slackware and want to install Openssh. I have previous ssh and even a previous Openssh that I successfully compiled a couple years ago.

The current release of Openssh is giving me the error:

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

Config.log doesn't seem to include much more info. However, when I do a "locate libcrypto" I get:

/usr/local/src/openssl-engine-0.9.6g/libcrypto.a
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a

which indicates I have a pretty recent libcrypto properly installed. Anyone have any
ideas why ./configure can't find it? I have /usr/local/ssl/lib included in /etc/ld.so.conf
and have run ldconfig.

Do you need help?

Recently, I have had similar troubles with ./configure not being able to find libs that
are onboard on another machine Ihave.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
