I had this same problem until I downloaded the latest OpenSSL 0.9.6c
source code and did a fresh build & install myself. I had previously
downloaded the OpenSSL source and did the build & install, but that
was with an older version (0.9.5something).

My other guess is that you might not have HP's ANSI C compiler.
That's an upgrade. You might want to try to get the gcc binaries,
then download the latest gcc & OpenSSL source code, then build &
install the latest gcc and then build & install the latest OpenSSL
and then finally build & install cURL.
