Unable to compile, install openssl version >=1.0.0c

[m***@gmail.com]

Hey, I'm really enjoying this program, but now I want to be able to save my password, and the version I had installed from ubuntu's repo (Alpine 2.21 (DEB 202 2017-01-01) built Mon, 05 Feb 2018 23:20:53 +0000 on debian) wasnt' allowing my password to be saved, just like mechanic's issue (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mail.pine/M6JKz9-ydmY).
So I've uninstalled my Alpine client, cloned the latest from http://repo.or.cz/alpine.git, and when I run ./configure I get "checking Openssl library version >= 1.0.0c... configure: error: Install openssl version >= 1.0.0c"

I have "$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017" installed.

What should I do here?

Thank you very much.

Dear ***@gmail.com,

you must install the headers package, usually named a "devel" package,
so install a package called something like "openssl-devel."

Thank you.

I've installed the openssl-devel package for my distrib, and was able to compile the software.
After running the make command in the alpine dir, I eventually get back to my command line w/ out an error, but trying to run alpine gives me /usr/bin/alpine: no such file or directory. This is the output of sudo make alpine: https://pastebin.com/BmLCMjh3

What should I do here?

THanks

Alpine is not installed in /usr/bin, but in /usr/local/bin, so if you do
not have /usr/local/bin in your path, add it, or alias alpine to
/usr/local/bin/alpine, that should solve your issue.

Sure is, and my path has /usr/local/bin in it. Either way, I can run ./alpine from /usr/local/bin, but after typing in my gmail password, I'm not prompted for it to be saved, or that the passfile is encrypted. Was I supposed to compile for encryption? I'm not seeing a -passfile launch option, nor a setting in .pinerc.

Also, thanks very much for your support so far. I've been handing you pretty dumb questions, and you've been quite patient.

This:
---
~/alpine$ alpine
bash: /usr/bin/alpine: No such file or directory
---
is very strange: why would bash talk about "/usr/bin/alpine" when you
just ask for "alpine"? Do you have an "alpine" symlink to /usr/bin/alpine
somewhere in your PATH, or a shell alias alpine=/usr/bin/alpine ?

Did you configure --with-passfile=... ? See ./configure --help

That was it sir, thank you!
To be clear, I did a ./configure --with-passfile=/home/user/.alpine.pwd and when that finished make. Afterwards, touch /home/user/.alpine.pwd and then launched alpine using /home/alpine/alpine, as it's still not in /usr/local/bin. no worries, as it prompted to save a password for the gmail passfile. Hot damn, thank you gentlemen!
