sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install cvs subversion git-core mercurial

and successfully patched the source files, but when running make it throws out

user@host:/usr/local/src/rtmpdump$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/rtmpdump/librtmp'
gcc -Wall   -DRTMPDUMP_VERSION=\"v2.4\" -DUSE_OPENSSL  -O2 -fPIC   -c -o rtmp.o rtmp.c
rtmp.c:61:25: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
                         ^
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [rtmp.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/rtmpdump/librtmp'
make: *** [librtmp/librtmp.a] Error 2

Thinking it's an openssl problem I've tried to install it, but running sudo apt-get install openssl tells me openssl is already the newest version.
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction to resolve this issue and build rtmpdump? This is my first time compiling from source and assistance would be appreciated.

did you install libssl-dev ?
