Try adding "--with-openssl=$OPENSSL_ROOT" to your configure.

During the build process, we are passing a custom OpenSSL path using the --with-ssl configuration flag. However, the final build still includes a dependency on the legacy libcrypt.so.1 library. When we attempt to run the server on a RHEL 10 environment, we encounter the following error: ./apachectl start ./httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This issue appears to be caused by the build process linking against the system's legacy libcrypt (from glibc), which is no longer available by default on RHEL 10. Can you please suggest how should we proceed next.
