No, yours was different, the headers had been located, but configure could not 
link to the library.

In this case, it looks like the headers were not found.

The OP should ensure that the relevant software is installed. For example, 
most linux distributions ship the headers and development libraries in 
separate packages. So, for example, the 'openssl-devel' package should be 
installed.

However, this *really* isn't an OpenLDAP-specific issue. IMHO, people with 
generic problems compiling the software (e.g. any time configure fails) 
should really consult a list appropriate to their OS/distribtion.
