OpenSSL in Shrike is configured with Kerberos support enabled, so you
need to point the compile at the Kerberos headers (which the OpenSSL
headers now need) and link with the Kerberos libraries.
The quickest workaround (if/until the default Lynx source tree include
the right magic to figure this out automatically) is to set the CPPFLAGS
environment variable to the output of
pkg-config --cflags-only-I openssl
CFLAGS to whatever you like, plus the output of
pkg-config --cflags openssl
and LDFLAGS to the output of
pkg-config --libs-only-L openssl
before running the configure script. Then the various tests the
configure script runs to find OpenSSL should succeed again.
Using the data provided by pkgconfig[1] ensures that you won't get
tripped up by this sort of change in the future (at least so long as the
data is correct).
