For several reasons,  libssl is not included in the dist.  You need to
patch it in yourself.

Get a copy of openssl-0.9.8e, then do this:

	cd uClinux-dist/lib
	tar xvzf openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz
	mv openssl-0.9.8e libssl
	cd libssl
	gunzip < openssl-0.9.8e-uclinux.patch.gz | patch -p0

There are some older instructions in the uCdot.org FAQ section as well
that may help with anything I have left out above.

The patch attached here is updated semi regularly in releases of
ocf-linux, http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/ check the downloads
section.  Keep an eye out there if you want to stay up tp date,

Cheers,
Davidm
