Aleksey,

If this is the error that you are getting then to compile slony you should

1) Make sure that the ssl development package is installed on debian 
based systems it is named 'libssl-dev' I'm not sure what it is named on 
RedHat based systems (maybe the same?)

2) do  add "LIBS=-lssl" to your environment before calling configure. 
It should then link in the ssl library.
