Using the default flags of the openssl crate, it needs the OpenSSL library (with headers![1]) to be present on your computer. Please refer to the openssl crate's documentation for more on how to make sure you have a working OpenSSL library with headers available for openssl to link into your program.

  1. While most (I guess) Linux distros have OpenSSL installed right out of the box, the headers often times need to be installed with a separate package. I.e. on OpenSUSE I had to install the headers by running zypper install libopenssl-devel. On Ubuntu the headers can be installed by running apt-get install libssl-dev. ↩ī¸Ž

If you can, try using rustls instead of openssl, it will sidestep these kinds of build problems entirely.
