This is a relatively new version of OpenSSL, and it is not compatible with version 1.0. Most programs that use OpenSSL will be expecting to use the version 1.0 API. I don't know your particular program, but it's a reasonable guess that it wants the older version. Try installing libssl1.0-dev (which will remove libssl-dev) and see if that works. You can switch back and forth as needed when compiling various programs, but you can't have both installed at the same time.
