Harondel,

Thanks for the report. I have seen this as well on a FreeBSD machine but 
assumed it was an isolated incident related to an outdated ports 
collection. Anyhow, the configure checks needed to be updated as the 
software really relies on OpenSSL libcrypto development headers and 
library but not OpenSSL proper. Please try the following archive ...

... and let me know how it works for you.
