3.8.1: configure fails to detect openssl/evp.h

[guyharris]

Converted from SourceForge issue 892961, submitted by vda

On my system configure says

checking for openssl/evp.h... no

but

ls -l /usr/include/openssl/evp.h

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27263 Dec 25 2002
/usr/include/openssl/evp.h

Details from config.log:

configure:4937: checking for openssl/evp.h
configure:4947: gcc -E -I$(srcdir)/missing -I$(srcdir)
-I$(srcdir)/missing -I/usr/include conftest.c

If you have autoconf 2.5x, can you regenerate configure from
configure.in (just run "autoconf") and see if you still get
similar problematic results? The 3.8.2 release will have an
updated configure, so you can also wait for that.

All the code in configure.in performing detection of this header has been replaced with a single instance of AC_CHECK_HEADERS() via commit c4b7e5f. Older changes could address this issue as well. As far as I was able to verify, the current revision detects presence of this header properly. Closing.
