You installed it from source, right?  You need to make sure other
programs know where OpenSSL's libraries are.  Make sure line with path
to OpenSSL libraries is on /etc/ld.so.conf.  Then run ldconfig as
root.

But if you installed OpenSSL from latest source, you might encounter
another problem.  Packages were compiled against the packaged version
and hence there's a change they won't work with the newest one.  Be
careful about that.
