Thanks
I have found teh root cause of the problem ...
--with-openssl=[my_dir]
The configure scripts has an assumption you are compiling against a binary
packaged version of openssl and that there is a /lib folder under [my_dir].
This simply does not exist under any of the source code releases of openssl. So
after I compiled the openssl source code I had to create the lib folder under
my openssh build directory and symlink the *.so libraries there for the
configure script to work
This is still an issue even if you edit Setup correctlty to compile the module.

To make the code more robust should it not 1st check under the root of [my_dir]
before assuming [my_dir]/lib exests or at least report teh full path with the
/lib added onto teh end of {my_dir} so you know where confiure has gone wrong ?
Is this not a fair expectation?
no lib folder
checking for openssl/ssl.h in /home/BD7046/openssl... no
checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... no
with lib folder
checking for openssl/ssl.h in /home/BC7046/openssl... yes
checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes
Thanks for all your help
