We're getting following errors(checking OpenSSL header version... not found
configure: error: OpenSSL version header not found.)  when we install openSSH 
in Solaris 2.8. 

 dbtest-root:/opt/openssh-3.6p1
#./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl

We have prngd & EGD installed in this box. Also we have configured openSSL 
without any errors... Please help...

Check to see if you have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.  If so unset it and try 
again.  Also try without the --with-dir-ssl=.

If either/both work.. Please mark it as a dup of bug #601.

> ./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl

As the correct configure option is --with-ssl-dir: did you really specify
--with-dir-ssl, or is that a typo in the bug report only?
Comment 3 Darren Tucker 2003-07-07 19:34:19 AEST 
Please re-open if you can reproduce with --with-dir-ssl.
Comment 4 Darren Tucker 2003-07-07 19:55:22 AEST 
Whoops, make that --with-ssl-dir.
Comment 5 longwave 2009-03-17 23:09:13 AEDT 
To solve this problem on Solaris7 for x86 we used the following options to configure:

/configure --with-dir-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-ldflags="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" --with-cppflags="-I/usr/local/ssl/include”
