I built Openssl1.0.0d ./config shared no-threads zlib

It installed fine to the default /usr/local/ssl

I went and downloaded OpenSSH 5.8p2 and ran ./configure

but now it keeps giving me a Openssl version header not found error even when I set --with-ssl-dir=

I've tried it with arguments /usr/local/ssl/include /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl /usr/include /usr/local/ssl/lib

I looked in config.log and found error: openssl/opensslv.h: no such file or directory which makes little sense since I pointed openssh to where it is store.

/etc/ld.so.conf

include /usr/local/ssl/lib

I'm at a loss at this point.

Answer (maybe):

Because I am an idiot.

include /usr/local/ssl/lib is incorrect.

/usr/local/ssl/lib is correct.

It needs to be before the first include.

Try --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl - your prefix for openssl should work.

You need to add library to ld.so.conf.d/ directorty like (filename is VERY important do not change it to something else)

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-openssl.conf

# Openssl 1.1.m for TLSv1.2
/usr/local/ssl/lib

And after that as user root run

ldconfig -v

and after that you can issue

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ssh --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl  --includedir=/usr/local/ssl/include/

only after that you can solve this error.

I have tried it with https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-8.9p1.tar.gz Portable Openssh source
