In brief:
I'm trying to build http 2.0.55 against openssl 0.9.8a.
I've built (but not installed) a local copy of openssl, with
shared libraries. I've built http like this:
If the previous suggestions didn't help please capture the output of
running configure and make from a freshly unpacked tarball and upload
them along with the config.log file somewhere.

I've put up a tarball containing these items, along with a shell
script that does the configure and make, at:
http://www.netspinner.co.uk/Downloads/httpd_build_prob.tgz
OK, I've found the problem and hacked a fix for it:
If you configure with, say, a --with-ssl=/somedir/openssl, then
the httpd 2.0.55 configure script assumes that openssl builds
its libraries into /somedir/openssl/lib. (see configure scripts
lines 10726 ff). However, in the case of openssl 0.9.8a at least,
the libraries go into /somedir/openssl. I've fixed this by creating
the appropriate lib /somedir/openssl/lib directory and putting the
libraries there, but it looks like a clash between openssl and
Apache - one or other has to change to fix it properly.
I've now run into another problem: the build falls over when compiling
srclib/pcre/pcre.c:
pcre.c:2545: error: `pcre_default_tables' undeclared (first use in this
function)
I've also fixed this: it was occurring because the build process
runs the dftable exe to generate chartables.c, but chartables.c
was empty; it was empty because dftable was linked against a couple
of openssl libraries it couldn't find, though I don't know why.
The fix is to add /somedir/openssl/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before
running the build. This is a local hack of course, and I guess
this too needs a proper fix, but I don't know why the linking of
dtable is screwed up so I can't suggest one. I would have thought that
dtable should be linked against whatever -with-ssl points to, but
this doesn't seem to be happening.
