But, presumably, that version of OpenSSL is the 0.9.7 version. If you want
to use the 0.9.8 version, you'll need to explicitly select an alternate
location using the instructions further on in that file.

Wherever it is, it looks like the libcurl build is picking up the 0.9.7
version at compile time.

It's not looking for 0.9.8 but 0.9.7 and can't find it. Try setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib and it should find it.

The libssl.so library used at link time points to a version of libssl that
isn't found in the standard locations available at run time. It does appear
that there is an install problem with one or both of the libssl versions
on the system.
