I'm fairly new to compiling things so bear with me...

I unpacked the 6.3.1 tarball in my workspace directory, downloaded
the openssl source from the Debian apt repositories (testing) and
copied it across to my workspace too.  Then I ran:

  $ cd fetchmail-6.3.1
  $ ./configure --with-ssl=/home/sebyte/workspace/openssl-0.9.8a
  [...]
  configure: error: cannot link with SSL - check config.log

I read the INSTALL file for building with ssl and the directory I
specified on the comand line definitely includes the include/
directory...

I hope I've attached the relevant section from the config.log.

I'll unsubscribe as soon as fetchmail's working and then there won't
be any need to resubscribe ;-)
