OpenSSH 1.2.2p1 is dead and gone. Errors detecting the OpenSSL library
are however still common and are solved by checking config.log.

The OpenSSL +library might have been compiled for another CPU or another mode (32/64 bits). +Permissions might be wrong. + +The general answer is to check the config.log file generated when running +the OpenSSH configure script.
