Nagios: NRPE configure error

I have encountered the following error while configuring the nrpe plugin:

checking for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr
checking for SSL libraries... configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries

I have found a solution from here.

apt-file is not installed in Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS by default, install by using this command sudo apt-get install apt-file -y

After apt-file is installed use apt-file update, use apt-file search libssl |grep libssl-dev you will see the following:

cyruslab@Nachos:~/download/nrpe-2.13$ apt-file search libssl | grep libssl-dev
libssl-dev: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.a
libssl-dev: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so
libssl-dev: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libssl.pc
libssl-dev: /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
libssl-dev: /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/changelog.gz
libssl-dev: /usr/share/doc/libssl-dev/copyright
cyruslab@Nachos:~/download/nrpe-2.13$

Then configure the source code with --with-ssl-lib option,

cyruslab@Nachos:~/download/nrpe-2.13$ ./configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

The configuration should be successful like below:

checking for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr
checking for SSL libraries... SSL libraries found in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

Review the options above for accuracy.  If they look okay,
type 'make all' to compile the NRPE daemon and client.
