Are all of the libraries appropriate for the target architecture and OS? 
You'll need to explicitly confirm that. For example:

# file /usr/lib/libssl.so.7
/usr/lib/libssl.so.7: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 
(FreeBSD), dynamically linked, stripped
#

would not be appropriate for windoze or linux, even though it's built for 
x86_64.

If configure can't find the libraries, either they're not in the right 
place, configure is being told to look in the wrong place, or they're not 
the right libraries for the target.

Build scripts are not that useful here.

Since none of use have your environment, I think you need to examine where 
configure is looking for the openssl files and see if they're present and 
correct. Or if they're built somewhere else, add configure directions to 
look for them there.
