I assume the old version of OpenSSL you had installed is pre-0.9.5a.

When you use --with-ssl-dir in OpenSSL, it'll first look at the standard
directories, not the one specified.  This has hit me a couple of times
when you have an older version of OpenSSL in e.g. /usr/local/lib etc. --
you _can't_ override that easily..

AFAIR the order was changed in post-2.2.0p1 snapshots.
