Bugs me too, tho I'm not an autoconf guru... Anyways the actual output of configure didn't mention anything related to openssl but config.log has this: .... configure:33092: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "openssl" Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'openssl.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'openssl' found configure:33095: $? = 1 configure:33256: checking if SVR4 needs to be defined .... Of course I'd been better off installing ssh beforehand, so I hadn't had to type above lines instead of copy-pasting.
