i had to install "automake", so i could run autoreconf (to rebuild the configure script), but i guess you already have that.
now we have this problem:
Code
checking for MD5_Init in -lssl... no
because in autoconfig.ac there is a line that says it should looks for that library, but we don't have that library (or not the right version, we don't know yet)
when i try to "make" i have the problem that the linker fails: "undefined reference"
so maybe you should try finding the right libssl packet (the "...dev"-packet you already have, there are usually the "h" files inside. but now we have a linker problem)
