Problems compiling OpenSSH-2.2.0p1 on Solaris 2.7

[John N. Stacey]

Has anyone experienced the following error while trying to compile
OpenSSH-2.2.0p1 using openssl-0.9.6 on Solaris 2.7:

"checking for OpenSSL directory... configure: error: Could not find working
SSLeay / OpenSSL libraries, please install"

Openssl is installed in the default directory /usr/local/ssl

I even used the --with-ssl-dir option with no luck.

Has anyone had any luck compiling it on Solaris 2.7?

Thanks...
