Do you have stunnel installed? The test suite uses stunnel for the SSL
tests. Without it, the test suite doesn't even try to check the SSL
functions.

Your original curl compilation may have been just fine. When you run
./configure, check the stream of messages for lines like this:

    checking for OpenSSL options using pkg-config... no
    checking for CRYPTO_lock in -lcrypto... yes
    checking for CRYPTO_add_lock in -lcrypto... yes
    checking for SSL_connect in -lssl... yes
    checking openssl/x509.h usability... yes
    checking openssl/x509.h presence... yes

and a bunch of of "checking openssl/...." lines. If there's a lot of
"yes"s, curl will be built with SSL.

Once it's built, try this:

    curl https://your.secure.server/

and see if you get a page back. If you do, never mind the tests not
working - worry about that later...
