OpenSSH and Solaris8

I am sorry if this a little bit off topic, after a lot
of effort i had no choice but to ask the best list
around.

Background:
System: Ultra 10 running Solaris 8
Installed :openssl and zlib (according to openssh's
prereqs). as 64 bit apps.

Now when i am trying to compile openssh with the
following configure option

             ./configure --with-prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc/ssh
             --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl/lib/
--with-zlib=/usr/l
             ocal/zlib/libz.a

i get the dreaded message,

             "configure: error: *** Can't find recent
OpenSSL libcrypto (see
             config.log
             for details) **"

After a lot of googling and rtfm ' ing i got around
this by doing, (cppflags ..)

             ./configure --with-prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-cppflags
             --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl/lib/ --
             with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib/libz.a

NOW I end up with

             configure:5389: error: *** zlib missing -
please install first or check
             config.log ***

I have gone through the config.log again and again
.Changed configure options, read thru list archives
for openssh and our own sunmanagers, and still no
luck.

Why is configure not getting the zlib directory i am
specfiying? Is there any thing else i am missing here?
