Tim:
   I recently installed on Debian for the first time, and made some 
notes on the process, which you'll find below.  I'm not using the PPP 
modules, so I just commented that section out and it seemed to mostly 
solve my problems after I got all the right libraries installed.

debian asterisk install notes:
- in asterisk/Makefile: added "-I/usr/local/ssl/include" to CFLAGS line
- in asterisk/res/Makefile: added "-L/usr/local/ssl/lib" to CRYPTO_LIBS line
- in zaptel/Makefile: commented out KFLAGS+=-DCONFIG_ZAPATA_PPP   line
- installed libnewt-dev
- installed newt-tcl (not sure if actually needed)
- installed "apt-get source openssl"
- installed "apt-get install openssl"
