It might be easier to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
pkg-config is used to check for libraries and how they need to
be used. Each library has a .pc file that records that information.
This file usually lives in the lib/pkgconfig directory, for example
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc.
With PKG_CONFIG_PATH, you can tell pkg-config where to look for
these .pc files.
The following should pick up your local OpenSSL installation before
looking into system directories:
$ ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
