when you compile something from source, and it uses certain libraries, you
often need to install the "development" packages aswell... which names are
always the original package plus "-dev"... (libssl-dev?)
BTW why don't you use the openssh package that comes with the Debian
distribution itself? (just "apt-get install ssh" if your
/etc/apt/sources.list is setup correctly)
