When I execute the command check_http

username at systemname:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$* ./check_http -H -S
<host_address> -u <https://**<host_address>/**default_check.aspx)>** -t 60
-w 20 -c 30 -C 14 -S -v*

*check_http: Invalid option - SSL is not available*

I tried seeing if there was an OPENSSL DEVELOPMENT package with apt-get but
there does not seem to be one.
