title: Installing node.js on debian. ./configure can't find openSSL while it is installed
body: <p>Because there isn't an up-to-date package of node to be found with apt-get, I downloaded the source with git and tried compiling it. However, it can't find the openssl libraries and installing without them will give problems downstream. (with other node userland modules requiring it). According to apt-get openssl is already up-to-date and it seems to be in the path as well, since typing 'openssl' executes it.
  Anyone know what I am missing here?</p>
