hi
I had the same problem.
The reason was that it could not find the ssl libraries. So it did not link
them
in your build of curl.
After you run ./config... look at the file "config.log" (or config.status)
Search for ssl in it and you will see an error saying it could not find
a certain library (either libcrypto or libssl) when trying to compile the
test program for ssl.
Make sure you have the correct path to the ssl libraries. The libraries
might be in /var/ssl/lib (?)
