You have so much to learn. A quick look at the gcc man page says that -l
is a library to be linked against. Libraries are not held in include
directories. Go find out if you have libssl.so on you machine. Then beat
your head into the nearest manual greater than 5 pounds till you have
absorbed the details that help you understand simple concise error
messages.
