I get a build failure using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
checking for library containing CRYPTO_free... no
checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... no
configure: The OpenSSL library is required to build the Sage Notebook.
configure: You might need to execute one of the following (or the
equivalent for your
configure: operating system):
configure: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
configure: sudo yum install openssl-devel
configure: error: Exiting, since the OpenSSL library was not found.
You do not have all of the prerequisites needed to build Sage
from source. See the errors above.
If you would like to try the build anyway (to help porting)
export the variable 'SAGE_PORT' to something non-empty.

Is it time for me to upgrade ubuntu?
