Can't compile with OpenSSL

If I compile without open SSL, all goes as expected and free tds is able to
connect to the server (ms sql server, using sqsh to connect)

However, once I reconfigure to use it (./configure --with-openssl) any
attempt to compile then fails, stopping with:

gcc -pthread -g -O2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include -Wdeclaration-after-statement
-o .libs/fisql fisql.o terminal.o edit.o handlers.o interrupt.o
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ../../dblib/.libs/libsybdb.so
../../replacements/.libs/libreplacements.a -lssl -lcrypto -lrt

Can anyone shed any light as to what might be causing this, and what I can
do to fix it?

System is running ubuntu 9.10, 32 bit. gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu
4.3.3-5ubuntu4).  OpenSSL 0.9.8l

Thanks.
