i had the same problem. it was in a virtual host in which i have no control over ssl (openssl 0.9.5) and didn't own root


if you had tried installing curl before (--without-ssl) i suggest you delete all curl related stuff (./lib, ./include etc) and start over from the curl-7.7.3.tar.gz file, it worked for me. i ran:


#./configure --prefix=/my/dir --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl

...


and it worked ! (maybe a ./configure clean is enough)


you can realize it is working because the #make command takes its time, more than 15' in a pentium 800 mhz


good look
