First, export LD_LIBRARY_PATH and run ./configure as normal, to create the Makefile. Then, edit the Makefile's LDFLAGS (I think, going by memory here) to add "-rpath /usr/local/ssl/lib" onto it.

-rpath <directory> is a directive to the gcc linker to hardcode/embed that path into the resulting binary, instead of relying on it to be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. I might have the exact semantics wrong, it's been awhile...
