Look in the config.log file that gets created. Start at the bottom and
go up (much of the bottom is a bunch of output (gobbledygook) of what
was discovered) until you find exactly what command configure tried to
run and failed. That should give you some idea of how it's getting
confused (post it to the list for help).

That sounds like an LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue (i.e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should
contain the directory that contains those ssl libraries). You can also
try adding the correct directory (/usr/local/ssl/lib ?) to your
/etc/ld.so.conf file (when you do, run `ldconfig` as root to rebuild
the necessary cache files).
