Jeff,

You should set --with-ssl= to the path of the openssl 'installation', not the
'openssl' command (curl wants the library, not the utility). This is usually the
directory above the openssl 'include' and/or 'lib' directories.

If you configured openssl with something like --prefix=/home/USERID/openssl ,
then thats probably the path you should give to --with-ssl for curl.

If you didn't do a 'make install' in the openssl build, then you might need to go
in to the openssl toplevel build directory and do something like 'ln -s . lib' to
make openssl/lib be a link to openssl so that the libraries can be found by curl.
