Compliation problems on eggdrop 1.6.17

[caros_12]

hello, i'am compiling eggdrop.1.6.17 with ssl support on a redhat 9 box. eggdrop1.6.15 compiles fine with ssl support however upon doing "make" for eggdrop1.6.17, when reaching the linking stage i get the following:

---------- Yeah! That's the compiling, now the linking! ----------

Linking eggdrop .

gcc -pipe -o ../eggdrop bg.o botcmd.o botmsg.o botnet.o chanprog.o cmds.o dcc.o dccutil.o dns.o flags.o language.o match.o main.o mem.o misc.o misc_file.o modules.o net.o rfc1459.o tcl.o tcldcc.o tclhash.o tclmisc.o tcluser.o userent.o userrec.o users.o -L/usr/lib -ltcl8.3 -lm -ldl -lnsl md5/md5c.o compat/*.o `cat mod/mod.xlibs` -lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib /usr/local/ssl/include

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../eggdrop] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nitro/eggdrop1.6.17/src'
make: *** [modegg] Error 2

if anyone can help me id be very grateful.

this may be a little late but still: fix your Makefile, add -I in front of /usr/local/ssl/include (or the variable that is set to it); or just remove it from the link step, it's not needed there
