I installed Openssl, Openssl-dev on Linux. When I configure Thrift, I get this error:

checking for BN_init in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: "Error: libcrypto required."

Please advise!

On Ubuntu installing libssl-dev package should fix it. If you use another distro, package name should be similar.
