A tip: the compile of the embedded PHP fails because it doesn't find the openssl libraries. In Opensuse x86_64, they reside in /usr/lib64, so the easy way to solve the problem is to create symlinks for the openssl libraries in /usr/lib. For example: ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so /usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.a /usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so /usr/lib
