Can not include OpenSSL headers files.

[...] checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no checking for openssl/ssl.h... no configure: error: !!! OpenSSL is not properly installed on your system. !!! !!! Can not include OpenSSL headers files. !!! |
The answer is because the application you are trying to compile manually requires “openssl-devel.x” package installed. It includes files for development of applications which will use OpenSSL.
So according to your OS you should use either yum, apt-get or gpg to install it.
In my example I am trying to compile on CentOS 32 bit, so I will use yum like that:
