ldconfig -p | grep -i ssl
        libssl.so.0.9.7 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
        libssl.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libssl.so
        libgnutls-openssl.so.11 (libc6) =>
/usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.so.11

Thanks for the BSD-style command -- I will safe store that somewhere...

Yeah, I often get lost about what runs with what... 

I thought it might be good to keep the other openssl as is. 
(figuring I can look into it later)

So I went with your suggestion to try "--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl" 

Hey, whadda ya know -- phpinfo now reports the server running 

OpenSSL support  enabled  
OpenSSL Version  OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005  


Thanks a million Hans..
