I have a copy of my config but it won't help you as you aren't
using my setup. But the above pretty clearly says that you lack
the openssl headers.

To find out if it's loaded try:

rpm -q openssl-devel

I get:
openssl-devel-0.9.7f-7
You will need openssl & openssl-devel:

(From an email by Tony Nelson)

I started by asking yum:

     $ yum list \*openssl\*

which lead to:

     $ yum info openssl

and then:

     $ su -
     # yum install openssl

When "yum list" doesn't turn up anything I try "yum search".
