Eric,

I think you offer a good clue.

ext/openssl/mkmf.log is large so I will not post it here.

The first line inside of it looks interesting:

have_library: checking for t_open() in -lnsl... -------------------- no

I'm not a C programmer but it looks like the "no" at the end of the line 
is telling me that something is missing.

Also the last line in the log file says this:

package configuration for openssl is not found

It's obvious that I need to help configure and/or make find the package 
configuration for openssl.

Perhaps configure has a command line option that says all the libraries 
are under /usr?

So it looks like I have 2 problems:
1. t_open in -lnsl ... no
2. configure does not know that openssl is where apt-get put it (under 
/usr).

Anyone out there compile ruby from source and have openssl.rb get 
created?
