[Update]OpenSSH and Solaris8

Thanks to all the wonderful people on the list for
taking time to reply. Yet my problem remains unsolved.

Some of the suggestions involved:
Not specifying the whole zlib dir as
/usr/local/zlib/libz.a or ssl dir as
/usr/local/ssl/lib instead just specifying
/usr/local/zlib and /usr/local/ssl. Still gives me the
same error.

I do have a working zlib (which compiled without any
problems) in /usr/local/zlib. Here are it contents,

ls -la
total 144
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Aug 8 18:07
.
drwxr-xr-x 11 root other 512 Aug 8 18:07
..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 71178 Aug 8 18:07
libz.a

I also have the pkg that comes with solaris installed
too.
pkginfo -l | grep zlib
   PKGINST: SUNWzlib
   PKGINST: SUNWzlibx

I have tried not to specify the zlib option in
configure so that it 'll grab it from the pkg with no
luck.

The versions that i am trying to get this going are,
openssh-3.4p1
openssl-0.9.6e (compiled without any problems)
zlib-1.1.4 (compiled without any problems).

All of these are the latest and the greatest owing to
security issues with the previous versions.

I am attaching the config.log if that's gives a clue.

=============

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: *** CaOpenSSL
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?
