Install Apache 2.2.8 with SSL on RHEL 5

Recently I was trying to install a fresh apache on a brand spankin' new RHEL 5 box, and had a problem while configuring apache, related to SSL. It looked like this.

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit base... none
checking for OpenSSL version... checking openssl/opensslv.h usability... no
checking openssl/opensslv.h presence... no
checking for openssl/opensslv.h... no
checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no
checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no
checking for openssl/ssl.h... no
no OpenSSL headers found
checking for SSL-C version... checking sslc.h usability... no
checking sslc.h presence... no
checking for sslc.h... no
no SSL-C headers found
configure: error: ...No recognized SSL/TLS toolkit detected

Simple fix, thanks to YUM.

sudo yum install openssl-devel

FYI, if you're not on RHEL 5, you could try

apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
