Desperate - Anyone ever built Net::SSLeay on a virtual server?

Hey people, Please, I'm desperate to find someone who has built the Net:SSLeay module on a virtual server. I can't seem to get it to build. My real-time processing software uses it to post the information to the authorization server via SSL. I have the option of using LWP::Client Agent also, though Net::SSLeay was my first pick. I can't get either to build. If you've accomplished this, email me or post a follow up to the list. I'm interested to hear how you did it. Thanks. Jason
