To make gcc aware of include files in another directory you
add some switches to the compile line. ie

gcc -I/usr/local/ssl/include -c test.c

To get gcc to spot the libraries for linking you add a different switch.

gcc -L/usr/local/ssl/lib test.c -o test -lcrypto -lssl

The last two tell the comiler that it might need to link libcrypto and
libssl when building test.

Hope the helps.

Cheers, Jim.
