These configuration options are used by different PHP extensions. PHP's OpenSSL extension uses --with-openssl. --with-openssl-dir is used by the FTP and the SNMP extension; if you don't need these, you can ignore --with-openssl-dir altogether. In any way, config.log is your friend. If the configuration fails, there should be some useful info about what went wrong. Regards, Christoph
