openssl alert when 9.8i installed?

[aklist]

Hi All: I downloaded 9.6.0 and ran

./configure --with-openssl

and received the warning that I should have 9.8d or better installed. I went 
ahead and updated to 9.8i and confirmed that it was running, but when I run 
configure I still get the error?

Is the error "informational" or is there a problem? Just to test I went 
ahead and ran "make" and BIND successfully compiled...just wondering if 
there's a problem or not?
