Can not configure openssh-1.2.2p1

Thanks for openssh!

I downloaded openssh-1.2.2p1 and found I could not configure it on my
linux 2.2.15pre13 i686 kernel.  The error I got was:

configure: error: Could not find working SSLeay / OpenSSL libraries, please install 

I had previously installed openssl (first 0.9.4 and then 0.9.5) into
/usr/local/ssl.  I had previously managed to configure, build and
install openssh-1.2.2 with this same openssl configuration.

I needed the following patch to configure.in in order to enable
configure to find the -lcrypto library:

In an unrelated problem, I am unable to build from a different build
directory than my source directory.  In other words, if I follow my
usual build procedure and do:

    cd /usr/local/src
    tar xfz ~/openssh-1.2.2p1.tar.gz
    cd /usr/local/build
    mkdir openssh-1.2.2p1
    cd ./openssh-1.2.2p1
    ../../src/openssh-1.2.2p1/configure
    make

I get the following errors:

I worked around this problem by adding "-I. -I$(srcdir)" to the CFLAGS
in the generated Makefile, but I'm sure there's a nice
configure-oriented way to support this.

Thanks again for openssh!  If you want some more information, I'd be
happy to hear from you.
