tinc-1.0pre8 fails to compile on RH 9.0

[Shashank Khanvilkar]

Hi, 

I had posted a similar question a few days back(but my mails started 
bouncing back, when I tried to post to the newsgroup). So here is it 
again.

My System: Rh 9.0 (2.4.20-13.9), openssl-0.9.7a-5, openssl-devel-0.9.7a-5
Autoconf tools: autoconf-2.57-3, automake-1.6.3-5

1. When I try to compile tinc-1.0 pre8 on my RH 9.0 system, it fails.. 
When I do a ./configure, it aborts saying:
--Snip--
checking for SHA1_version in -lcrypto... yes
checking for RAND_pseudo_bytes... yes
checking for OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms... no
checking for SSLeay_add_all_algorithms... no
configure: error: Missing required OpenSSL functionality!

2. So i followed a suggestion from someone and downloaded the cvs version, 
and ran autogen.sh. This leads to the following error.
shashank at mia:~/temp/tinc> ./autogen.sh 
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

3. I made a wild GUESS and figured out that i had a older version of 
gettext (0.11.4). So I chnaged the following line in configure.in
-AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.11.5)
+AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.11.4)

4. Now running autogen.sh results in :
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

Any ideas??
