Yes, still I have all these libraries (they are build requirements so it 
wouldn't even try if they weren't available).

It seems that for some reason /usr/lib64 and /lib64 are not processed and 
therefor it thinks it can't link.

I verified with Red Hat's package and it seems the problem is due to the 
fact that lftp uses its own libtool. For some reason this libtool doesn't 
work properly on x86_64. Red Hat fixes this by doing:

	if pkg-config openssl ; then
	        CPPFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags openssl`; export CPPFLAGS
	        LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs-only-L openssl`; export LDFLAGS
	fi
	LDFLAGS="-L`pwd`/src/.libs $LDFLAGS"; export LDFLAGS
	%configure --with-modules --disable-static --with-ssl --with-debug
	export tagname=CC
	make LIBTOOL=%{_bindir}/libtool

	rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
	export tagname=CC
	%makeinstall LIBTOOL=%{_bindir}/libtool

It would be nice if lftp could be packaged (like on i386) by just doing:

	./configure --options
	make
	make install

Everything else could be fixed in the buildtools.

Is that possible for a next release ? I probably have to work around it 
for lftp 3.0.3.
