I am trying to install pound 2.1 on Novell SUSE Enterprise Desktop 10

When I run ./configure, I get the following:

Missing OpenSSL (-lcrypto) - aborted

OpenSSL is installed:

flonster:~/Desktop/Pound-2.1 # rpm -q openssl
openssl-0.9.8a-18.4

flonster:~/Desktop/Pound-2.1 # which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

I tried adding --with-ssl=/usr/bin and I get the same error

Searched the archives and google but found nothing that applied to my situation.

Any help would be appreciated!
