This thing won't compile

[dudaker]

After 72 hours of frustration I've finally decide to look for help.

I'm trying to compile PHP, I'm using the php4-STABLE-200310201130 snapshot and I'm receiving the follow error during make:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

I check my /etc/ld.so.conf and have the path /usr/lib

I have found libssl.so.0.9.6 and libssl.so.0.9.7 in this location.

Can someone please help me get past this? I've been trying to get this to compile for a while with very little luck. (one problem after another)

I got it to compile after getting the development libs for ssl installed.
