I haven't done this on SunOS 5.6 (too old!), but it appears that the "configure" script is not finding the expected header files under your "--with-ssl" directory.
What's in "/opt/local/ssl"? Around here (in the corresponding but different "--with-ssl" directory), there's an "include/openssl" subdirectory, which is packed with (links to) the header files which appear in those "conftest.c" compilation complaints. Also in the "--with-ssl" directory are a "libcrypto.a" and a "libssl.a", which could become valuable later, if you ever get past the missing header files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
