The linux shared libraries from openssl are apparently needed by the
openssh package.  So you need to build and install them too, and then
install openssh with

rpm -Uvh --nodeps openssh...

But I think you are better off with installing openssl* rpms instead
of installing the openssl libraries by hand.

After removing your openssl installation, just issue

rpm -Uvh ftp://thermo.stat.ncsu.edu/pub/openssh/files/support/openssl-0.9.4-3.i386.rpm

and possibly 

rpm -Uvh ftp://thermo.stat.ncsu.edu/pub/openssh/files/support/openssl-devel-0.9.4-3.i386.rpm
