Well, what did the end of config.log say? You'll need to find the last
instance of something that looks like the following:

int
main ()
{
RAND_add ();
  ;
  return 0;
}
configure:8517: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith
-Wno-uninitialized -I/usr/local/ssl/include  -I/usr/local/include
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib  -L/usr/local/lib
-R/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lz -lsocket -lnsl  -lcrypto >&5
[** compile error here **]
 
If this doesn't help you you'll need to supply more details (compiler
type and version, openssl version) and possibly a copy of config.log.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
