Chris,

>From which version of the ethereal source are you building?

0.8.18 does not automatically find SSL. If {net|ucd}-snmp was build with SSL
you must tell configure where to find it i.e. -with-ssl=/usr/local

The version in CVS does check for /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.{a,so}. You
might need to say -with-ssl=yes  or possibly even -with-ssl=/usr/local since
yours is in /usr/local/lib

ethereal-0.8.18' s snmp support 

Thank you so much for your response.  Sorry for the delay, but I was out of
town for a week.

The ethereal configure was detecting SSL and SNMP, and the SNMP was
configured with SSL support.  It's just that the check ethereal was
doing to confirm a working SNMP+SSL was failing.

Here's what my library files look like:
