 Priority:  trivial  |      Milestone:     
Component:  Tor      |        Version:

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 If you lack libssl tor's configure fails with...

 {{{
 checking for openssl directory... configure: WARNING: Could not find a
 linkable openssl.  If you have it installed somewhere unusual, you can
 specify an explicit path using --with-openssl-dir
 configure: WARNING: On Debian, you can install openssl using "apt-get
 install libssl"
 configure: WARNING:    You will probably need libssl-dev too.
 configure: error: Missing libraries; unable to proceed.
 }}}

 This is all fine except the openssl package presently doesn't exist in
 either ubuntu or debian sid...

 http://packages.debian.org/sid/libssl
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libssl

 Installing libssl-dev did the trick for me.
