Yes, I found a post via google, which expained that this is only the first
test.
If anything is broken, obvious the first test will fail.

I'm not sure what I've done, but now everything's working fine.

I tested the steps on a new installed fedora c2 machine and no errors
occured.
(One difference: I removed the 'shared' within the configcall of openssl)

After that, I deleted the sources on the other (failed) machine, and built
the
packages anew. Now curl/openssl was condescend to me ;-)

Here's a short snippet of my steps:

openssl:
./config --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl/<actual-version>
make && make install

curl:
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl/<actual-version>
make && make install

to test call 'curl --version':
curl 7.12.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7d zlib/1.2.1.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

...it's foolproofed...

Thanks for your help,
