The problem is that RedHat included the engine version of openssl in their devel
rpm. What you can do is make sure that you don't have the openssl-devel rpm
installed. Some thing like:

    rpm -q -a | grep openssl

If you see 'openssl-devel-0.9.6b' in the list, you need to remove it:

    rpm -e openssel-devel-0.9.6b

That gets rid of the openssl header files from /usr/include. Now if you go back to
curl and reconfigure/rebuild, you should be OK:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ssl=/usr/local
    make clean; make
