I am trying to set up a new Amazon EC2 instance (never done it before) and I'm stuck at getting Node.js working with OpenSSL.
First I installed it without OpenSSL just to see if I could, works fantastically. Then I went back and downloaded OpenSSL 1.0.0d (marked as latest) and ran make and make install and it ran fine, but then I went back to run make on Node again and I get this message:

/opt/node-v0.5.0/wscript:319: error: Could not autodetect OpenSSL support. Make sure OpenSSL development packages are installed. Use configure --without-ssl to disable this message.
That's the exact same message I got before I did a successful install of OpenSSL 1.0.0d.
I am an amateur at linux in knowledge but feel comfortable enough in it.
Ran make test on OpenSSL and got All tests successful
