The second version looks better.

That's a good question. I've never done it myself, although I know other
people have.

Obviosly, when you add libs with LDLIBS you get the appended on every compile
line in the configure script that thus the libs must exist in the standard
places for that to work. You could try to add a
"LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" as well, as that would tell the linker where
to look for the ssl libs.

... which seems to be because it lacks the -lrsaref switch...
