(1) You didn't specify a path to the --prefix option.
(2) You didn't specify the path of your ssl in the --with-ssl-dir option

These may or may not solve your problem, but try it out anyway.
As a guide, try my own configure options below. I have used this on
2 Linux boxes, one is Slackware 7, the other is Red Hat 6.

--------------------

./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl
--with-random=/dev/urandom --with-catman=man --with-tcp-wrappers
--with-md5-passwords --with-lastlog=/var/log/lastlog --with-ipv4-default                                                                                                                 

--------------------

I would also discourage you from disabling tcp wrapper. tcp wrapper
checks whether a host trying to establish connection to your box is
allowed or not. ssh only encrypts communication (thus protecting the
contents of your traffic); ssh does not shut out the bad guys trying
to get hold of your server.

Also, there is already openssh 2.9p1.

You don't need to add -lcrypt manually. The configure script will do
this for you.
