unable to compile with openssl libraries

[Peter Param]

Debian licensing prohibits the installation of openssl as part of its
packaging and hence why i downloaded the individual tarballs to work
around this issue.

This looks wrong, at first glance.  Did you actually install the headers
under /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/ and install the libraries under
/lib ?  And why not use the readily accessable Debian openssl packages,
that have security support?

Well, it probably wasn't built, so that's not a huge surprise.
