There seems to a configure problem with the options to specify the directories where the SSL installation resides.
I have the SSL that I want in /usr/local and in wget 1.10.2 the configure option --with-libssl-prefix=/usr/local worked. Part of configure output: checking for libssl... yes checking how to link with libssl... /usr/local/lib/libssl.so /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib configure: compiling in support for SSL and in the Makefiles I have: LIBS = -lintl -ldl -lrt /usr/local/lib/libssl.so /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib With wget-1.11-beta-1 however I get the configure output: checking how to link with libssl... -lssl -lcrypto configure: compiling in support for SSL via OpenSSL and LIBS = -lintl -ldl -lrt -lssl -lcrypto Somehow the specified directory /usr/local seems to be ignored ;-) I *have* a SSL under /usr from the base system installation, but the current and correctly configured version that I actually use is in /usr/local.
