problem with configure and openssh-2.1.1p2

[Michael A Thatcher]

I'm running Redhat 6.2. Since openssh required openssl, I grabbed and
installed openssl-0.9.5a-1.i386.rpm.  When I ran configure, it
complained about not finding the openssl directory.  I ended up
installing the openssl source rpm to get ./configure to run.  Is this a
known problem? Is there a workaround?
