You shouldn't need to change anything in configure.in. Compile with

./configure --enable-SSL --with-openssl=/usr

plus whatever other configure options you'd normally use and I think
it should work for your case.

> P.S.: Openssl version 0.9.6b

You should really upgrade that, it's getting a bit long in the tooth. :)
