wpa_supplicant | ld: cannot find -lcrypto error

Friends,

I am having a hard time getting over this error.

---
gcc -o wpa_passphrase wpa_passphrase.o sha1.o md5.o -lcrypto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [wpa_passphrase] Error 1
---

Running make by leaving out wpa_passphrase in the Makefile is successful,
but I'm not sure what the consequence of it is.

Some info about my Debian 3.0r3 laptop build environment is:

Somewhere on other lists I read that this problem could be due to linker
incompatibility.  But I'm not sure what the remedy is.  My /etc/ld.so.conf
has the folln...

Would anyone know how I can avoid the '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto'
error?

Thanks in advance,
