I did y quick fix in ./configure and with this I get in config.log:

...
configure:14192: checking for openssl
configure:14210: found /usr/local/sisis-pap/bin/openssl
configure:14222: result: /usr/local/sisis-pap/bin/openssl
configure:14246: using openssl: OpenSSL 3.5.6 7 Apr 2026 (Library: OpenSSL 3.5.6 7 Apr 2026)
configure:14249: checking openssl/ssl.h usability
...

The change is:

diff -c configure.orig configure
*** configure.orig Mon Feb 23 22:56:43 2026
--- configure Wed Apr 8 13:06:57 2026
***************
*** 14238,14244 ****
--- 14238,14248 ----
$as_echo "$OPENSSL" >&6; }
fi

+ # see line 3109 for LIBRARY_DIRS
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH_SAVED=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_DIRS:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
pgac_openssl_version="$($OPENSSL version 2> /dev/null || echo openssl not found)"
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH_SAVED
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: using openssl: $pgac_openssl_version" >&5
$as_echo "$as_me: using openssl: $pgac_openssl_version" >&6;}
if test "$with_ssl" = openssl ; then

The bug/issue with "--with-libraries=LIB" is that the specified lib dir(s)
are used for linker statement, but never for run time statements:

8096 #
8097 # Library directories
8098 #
8099 ac_save_IFS=$IFS
8100 IFS="${IFS}${PATH_SEPARATOR}"
8101 # LIBRARY_DIRS comes from command line, SRCH_LIB from template file.
8102 for dir in $LIBRARY_DIRS $SRCH_LIB; do
8103 if test -d "$dir"; then
8104 LIBDIRS="$LIBDIRS -L$dir"
8105 else
...

My fix is dirty and should not stay like this. It only points to the
problem.

HIH

Annalena Baerbock: "We are fighting a war against Russia ..." (25.1.2023)

I, Matthias, I am not at war with Russia.
Я не воюю с Россией.
Ich bin nicht im Krieg mit Russland.
