I have to tell you my experience on SuSE distro(s) [Sparc & Intel] worked like a charm. Perhaps if you look at the configure options you can help configure find the ssl headers. For example...
fuego:/tmp/openvpn-1.6_beta1 # ./configure --help [snip...] Optional Packages: --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no) --with-ssl-headers=DIR Crypto/SSL Include files location --with-ssl-lib=DIR Crypto/SSL Library location [snip...] Also googling shows you are not alone in having this problem on Redhat, e.g. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=redhat+%22checking+for+openssl%2Fssl.h...+no%22&btnG=Google+Search Good luck...
