crypto library is not installed

Hi,

when compiling pgAdmin3 I ran into the same problem as others before:
openssl-devel is not installed.

./configure --prefix=/home/ads/tmp-pgadmin3 --with-pgsql=/usr/pgsql-9.3/

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ads/pgadmin3/xtra/png2c'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../pgadmin/include/libssh2

mv -f .deps/png2c.Tpo .deps/png2c.Po

png2c.o -L/usr/pgsql-9.3/lib -lcrypto -lpq
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [png2c] Error 1

Yes, I know how to fix this. My question is: why is "configure" not
checking for this library, when it is required to build pgAdmin3?

Thanks,
