IIRC, SMCossl includes the shared versions of the OpenSSL libs.
Likely the test program is failing because ld.so can't find the OpenSSL
libraries at run-time.  A quick look at the end of config.log should
confirm that.

Some solutions:

    1.)  Set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment to include /usr/local/ssl/lib
         before running configure.  Of course, you'll also need this
         in your environment whenever you run cfengine. 

    2.)  Set the LDFLAGS environment variable to include -R/usr/local/ssl/lib
         before running configure.  This will cause /usr/local/ssl/lib
         to be included in the linked in library search path.

    3.)  Set LD_RUN_PATH environment variable to include all the directories
         in which shared libraries needed by cfengine might reside.
         This will explicitly set the linked-in library search path.

    4.)  Use crle to add /usr/local/ssl/lib to the list of trusted library
         paths.  (man crle for details)
