Hi Jalindar,

1.
Try: ./configure --without-ssl --with-polarssl
(without the 'and' word)

2.
PolarSSL needs to be installed including the PolarSSL headers (not just the
library) before you run ./configure for it to find the PolarSSL header and
library files and give a thumbs up before the build.

I recommend to use PolarSSL from your system's regular software
repositories, if this is an option to you. If not, then you need to compile
PolarSSL yourself and use "--with-polarssl=<directory of PolarSSL
installation>".

Side note for your interest: I would recommend to use libcurl version 7.28-1
in combination with PolarSSL. PolarSSL changed its API between versions and
this curl version is tolerant to the old and the new API.
