Welcome to LQ.

All you have to do is :

./configure --with-x
... and "configure will show these lines :
.
.
checking for X... libraries , headers
checking for OpenSSL directory... /usr

And next : run 'make' .

'openssl-devel' , 'xorg-x11-devel' must of course
already be installed before running './configure --with-x' :
# zypper in openssl-devel xorg-x11-devel
.....
P.S.: /usr/local/ shouldn't be used for compiling.
/home/"username"/ is meant for that : Then 'configure'
and 'make' can be run as ordinary user.
.....

openssl headers

I ran into this same problem. You need to have libssl-dev installed.
Then I ran ./configure and everything worked fine.
