It sounds like you don't have the openssl package installed. One of the benefits of using Debian is that it has a great package management system (apt) which connects to a large repository of pre-compiled software packages. You shouldn't need to use wget, ./configure, or yum packages for this. Simply run these two commands as the root user: apt-get update apt-get install openssl I hope that helps.
