Error while building BIND 9.11 on linux host

[blrmaani]

Good to know Mark. I retried again using openssl 1.0.2j as below (as a root user):

./config
make
make install

and then tried building BIND 9.11 P1 as below:
./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
make

I see these errors now after several minutes ...
