My support guy over at my ISP and I are having the
hardest time installing curl with ssl. Everytime we try to
install it like so

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure --with-ssl

it installs, but I get an

"curl: (1) SSL is disabled, https: not supported" message.

If someone could look at the config log and locations below, I would really
appreciate suggestions.

Subject: RE: cURL with SSL support (OpenSSL)

Hello Ben,

I attempted to do some of things outlined in the FAQ apparently without
luck. I have attached the config.log file which displays the output of the
configuration. Maybe you or someone that is familiar with this software
can take a look at that to determine why this is not working.

The command I ran was as suggested by the FAQ:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure --with-ssl

Here are the contents of the /usr/local/ssl directory:

$ ls
bin certs include lib man misc openssl.cnf private rand.dat

Here are the contents of /usr/local/ssl/lib/

$ ls
libcrypto.a libssl.a

Here are the contents of /usr/local/ssl/bin/

$ ls
c_rehash openssl ssleay

You might have someone who is familiar with OpenSSL take a look to see if
this looks correct to work with CURL.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
