General rule, any time you are doing a configure and run into a library
not found or similar message you need to install the -devel package. In
this case probably libopenssl-devel. In package systems there is
generally a division between end user packages such as openssl and
development packages like libopenssl-devel. devel or development
packages are needed when you are compiling your own software. Part of
the ./configure process is to determine whether the development files
are present and throw an error if they are not.
