oh... I recall running into that last fall.  The OpenSSL group seems to
have changed its dependencies.  (I don't recall that they've started
making a pkg-config script - would be nice).  Usually I don't run into
a problem with that is because -ldl is used for other libraries.

You should be able to make it work by adding "-ldl" to your $LIBS
environment variable, e.g.,

        setenv LIBS "$LIBS -ldl"
