When we try to install nginx-1.2.4 and check with. /configure then two  
problems come as fallows:

- OpenSSL library is not used
- sha1 library is not found

And then we check openssl installed or not then result come:-

rpm -qa openssl  
openssl-0.9.8e-22.el5\_8.4  
openssl-0.9.8e-22.el5\_8.4

Please advise; what is the solution? as we are not interested to face  
any  
problem after installation of nginx-1.2.4

Complete . /configure result as fallows:-

I suggest these aren’t the -dev packages with headers/source, and  
you’re just installing runtime binaries which nginx can’t use during  
compilation. Install the devel packages.
