This comes back regularly, although we haven't really identified a "one
size fit all" fix...

- -L/usr/local/ssl/lib?? Shouldn't OpenSSL be installed from slackware
packages?

Could you check is you have any libssl* and libcrypto* in /usr/lib/ ? Is
so, add "--with-openssl=/usr" to your configure command.

The fact that it detects /usr/local as your OpenSSL installation path
makes me think you have another OpenSSL lib that's not from Slackware,
and that you're having problem linking with it.
