Did you conclude that this is the reason for the failure on your machine?
config.log will tell you, check for the failing off_t check, and you'll soon
spot what kind of failure configure detected when it tried to determine the
size of that variable type.

On linux, you normally fix the run-time linker path by editing /etc/ld.so.conf
(and re-running ldconfig), not by editing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

Also, do note the difference between the link-time linker path and the
run-time linker path. configure detects your OpenSSL lib using the standard
link tool, but when it tries to RUN a program built to use those OpenSSL
libraries it links with, the run-time linker will do its own routine and
search for the libraries the program is said to require.
