I have installed libssl-dev and openssl but I get this when I install node.js:

Openssl is not found. But node was installed successfully.

Why isn't openssl found? Anyone has the same problem?

@weng: I had the same problem. The solution was easy: sudo apt-get install pkg-config :)

I had the same problem.

I tried

./configure --prefix=/opt/node --openssl-libpath=/usr/local/lib/

which solved it even though I think --openssl-libpath=/usr/local/lib/ isn`t necessary
