compiling error - cannot find -lssl

ok, I've updated to autoconf-2.53-8, and have the latest configure.in file 
(1.232.4.38). Now there seems to be an issue with SASL, I think...

After running:

./configure --with-auth=unix --with-sasl=/usr/lib/sasl 
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include

I get receive this error:

./configure: line 10055: syntax error near unexpected token '2,1,7'
./configure: line 10055: 'CMU_SASL2_REQUIRE_VER(2,1,7)'

Does 'configure.in' have a problem, or is it just me?

That's OK, you just need to install autoconf (the tool that parses
configure.in and creates a new configure script). It'll be available as an
RPM on the RedHat CDs (if it's already installed, then make sure it's in
your path).

However, if you're relatively new to Linux then a better option might be
to install Cyrus directly from the RPMs that contributors to this list
have created. I don't run Cyrus on Linux myself, so I'm not sure whether
the RPMs will work on RH8, but a troll through the list archives should
answer that question.
