The failed dependency messages are there because RPM's database doesn't
include the fact that you built and installed OpenSSL manually.  There
should be ready-made packages of OpenSSL in the same directory as the
one you got OpenSSH from.

If you don't use the RPM packages, you can still get things running by
adding the directory your libcrypto was installed in to /etc/ld.so.conf,
running "/sbin/ldconfig", and installing OpenSSH using RPM's "--nodeps"
flag.

If you're uncertain of where OpenSSL got installed, running
'find /usr -name "libcrypto*" -print' should give you a listing of any
files under /usr with names that start with libcrypto.
