/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto [ nagios ]

hi

I  am trying to install a SNMP pulgin for nagios  from ( http://nagios.manubulon.com/package_c.html )

 

I downloaded the file  and ran a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios -----> this is OK

then i ran make   and it give me the following error  -------> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto

 

[root@vps nagios-plugins-snmp]# make
make  all-recursive

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [check_snmp_int] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-snmp/src'
 

I was able to solve this 

 

chk if you hav the following 

 

rpm -qa |grep libcrypto
