If I pass nothing to configure relating to openssl    no errors relating to 
openssl are  generated but running kmk generates the   the dreaded :-  
#####################
kBuild: Linking tstRTAvl
/home/linteg/OUTvbox/linux.amd64/release/bin/VBoxRT.so: undefined reference to 
`crypt_r at GLIBC_2.2.5'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
kmk: ***

I have openssl-1.0.1h installed in /usr/local. so I  passed
--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local to configure and it failed with 
" openssl not found in /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib/libssl.a, 
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a or headers not fould

I looked at the configue script and noted some of the ENVARS that point to 
libraries and headers needed for the build.
I edited the configure script  with these
LIBCRYPTO="-L/usr/local/lib -lcrypto -lssl"
INCCRYPTO="/usr/local/include/openssl"


on running configure it again responded with openssl not found
