As far as I can see from the source you provided, c-kermit needs *at
least* openssl 0.9.7:
# NOTE: OpenSSL 0.9.6 and earlier are not compatible with 0.9.7 and later.
# C-Kermit code is designed for 0.9.6. To build with 0.9.7 you must add
# -DOPENSSL_097 to avoid missing symbols in the DES library and to use the
# entry points that were renamed to avoid conflict with Kerberos 4.
When this readme was written, openssl 0.9.8 was not availlable. Did you
try to build with openssl 0.9.8?
