Could not find crypto

[selabie68]

Whenever I run ./configure on Fedora 21 I get: configure: error: could not find crypto

I get the same error when compiling on Ubuntu 14.10 32-bit.

checking for size_t... yes

configure: error: in `/home/antz/crypto/cpuminer-multi':
configure: error: could not find crypto

Unsure if it is related, but autogen gives this warning: Makefile.am:12: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')

You need to install OpenSSL (libcrypto). On Ubuntu run sudo apt-get install libssl-dev. For Fedora it should be yum install openssl-devel
