Summary: Cannot find openssl when specified --with-ssl

Initial Comment:
Curl 7.17 and 7.18 cannot find openssl if it installed under a user specified directory. I tested with Curl 7.18.2 and got the same issue.

This issue was found when building a fgs module (installer for linux). See http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1863

I found a similar issue in the tracker and applied the suggested fix (2008-01-15 21:39 by dfandrich) but it didn't solve this issue:

I confirm that when openssl is built as a shared module, Curl configure
script runs correctly

I pasted here the output of the pkg-config command and the configure

It looks like only static OpenSSL libraries are available, which I don't
think curl supports (at least when configuring this way). Try configuring
again while setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately (probably
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/fgs/fgs-dev/built/openssl/lib/pkgconfig). The output
of the command:

env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/fgs/fgs-dev/built/openssl/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --libs libssl

should provide all the libraries needed to link with OpenSSL. If not, then
it's an OpenSSL bug.
