Ralph/Daniel,

You may be right in saying that the problem exists in the RHLinux in-built
rpm openssl/curl package.

I successfully managed to install cURL finally after Daniel's suggestion and
used your suggestion to compile using configure with path of ssl directory.

May be the developers should come up with the next version of cURL, with a
detection mechanism in that.
On installation, let cURL detect openSSL engine from redHat.
and then prompt:
cURL has detected the openSSL engine version xxx from redhat Linux, do you
want this installation to use newer version of openSSL? yes/no.

default should be yes.
and then let ./configure make the appropriate changes in the engine.h header
file and compile cURL properly.

just a suggestion :))

Thank you very much to both of you.
Bijal Kothari.
