LD_LIBRARY_PATH, aside from being something to avoid using in any
case, has nothing to do with where the preprocessor finds header
files.  Try using --with-includes and --with-libraries; see the
documentation for more information:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/install-procedure.html

Another way is to set the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables.

I've built PostgreSQL 7.2 through 8.1beta with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and 0.9.8
on Solaris 9 without problems, so the OpenSSL version shouldn't matter.
