The configure error I get is:

   checking OpenSSL header version... not found
   configure: error: OpenSSL version header not found

This works if I:

1) cd /usr/local/openssl/include

2) cp ./openssl/* .

3) rmdir ./openssl

The problem appears to be a trailing 'openssl' which is appended to
the include directory.
