There are two possibilities: your installation is lacking OpenSSL or, if you are running Linux, it's lacking the openssl-dev package.

What we ship is mod_ssl, the module that wraps the HTTP protocol in SSL or TLS encryption. We don't ship the SSL library itself, but instead require that one is installed. We support OpenSSL and (I think, but haven't tried) RSA ssl-c.

You don't tell us which platform you are using, but on Linux packages tend to be split up into a user part (openssl in our case) and a developer part. You need both and configure will fail with the above message if it can't find the -dev package. For instance, on Ubuntu you'll want

libssl
libssl-dev
openssl

installed before you build Apache.

The steps I took to configure was I added the --enable-ssl command to the configuration step:

./configure --prefix=/home/httpd --enable-ssl --enable-module=so

That's spot on. If you have your OpenSSL installation installed somewhere on your system but not in the default /usr or /usr/local or so, you should point to it using --with-ssl=/path/to/your/openssl .
