The output you show is that it's trying to compile openssl into the ssl module. You'll need to install the openssl headers. The debian package name is probably something like "openssl-dev".

Tim, thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry to say I'm still stuck.

I downloaded the ssl1.5 package and unpacked it.

I figured the next step would be, "python setup.py install"

Here was the output:

looking for /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h
looking for /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/ssl.h
looking for /usr/contrib/ssl/include/openssl/ssl.h
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 167, in<module>
     ssl_incs, ssl_libs, libs = find_ssl()
   File "setup.py", line 142, in find_ssl
     raise Exception("No SSL support found")
Exception: No SSL support found


Everything on this Debian box was installed via the aptitude package
manager.
Is the conflict here that it's looking for directories that would be
there had I installed from source?
That's just my wild guess.
Any ideas?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
