rpmbuild fails to find OpenSSL headers

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • rpmbuild fails with following error message:
* checking OpenSSL header version...  "Not found."  

* Unable to locate the OpenSSL headers!  
*  
* The Digi RealPort driver requires the OpenSSL layer.  
*  
* This driver will use the shipped version of the OpenSSL package that comes  
* with this driver package.  
*  
* There will be a considerable amount of extra time spent  
* compiling this driver package (anywhere from 5 - 60 minutes),  
* because the OpenSSL library will also be compiled.
