cannot compile with openssl

Hi,

I have two machines, same hardware, same OS (Debian Lenny) - but they
do not behave the same, it seems.

I want to compile freetds with OpenSSL, but whatever I do, i cannot
get it to compile without error. These are the 'last words' it sends
to me when running 'make':

 gcc -shared  .libs/ct.o .libs/cs.o .libs/blk.o .libs/ctutil.o
-Wl,--whole-archive ../tds/.libs/libtds.a
../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lrt  -pthread
-Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,-soname -Wl,libct.so.4 -Wl,-version-script
-Wl,.libs/libct.ver -o .libs/libct.so.4.0.0
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a(x86_64-gcc.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libct.la] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Anyone that has an idea what this is about?

Thanks!!
