Dunno if it'll help you but I just installed openssl 0.9.7d and curl 7.12.1
simply like that on a redhat 9. (not sure theres a lot of difference between
shrike and fedora for that):

I just enabled the simplest option :
as root :
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.7d.tar.gz
tar xvfz openssl-0.9.7d.tar.gz
cd openssl-0.9.7d
./config
make
make test
make install
cd ..

for curl :
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.12.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz curl-7.12.1.tar.gz
cd curl-7.12.1
./configure --with-ssl

And did not have any problem. (Note I installed some months ago a 7.11.2 on
a fedora core 1 box as well with openssl 0.9.7d the same way and it worked
nicely)

If it doesnt work using that, I cant say more than try to track your include
and libs file generated by openssl/curl as very often the previous installed
version is still available and in directories "more accessible than the new
one". e.g '/usr/include' and the new ones are in '/usr/local/include' and
the first directory is before the second when trying to access the files...
