compiling py 2.7.3 with openssl

[V N]

RHEL 5.3 x86_64 / Python 2.7.3

compiled as shown below ==>

    PYTHON=Python-2.7.3
    tar xjf bin/$PYTHON.tar.bz2
    cd $PYTHON
    PYHOME=/usr/local/$PYTHON; export PYHOME
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib64"; export LDFLAGS
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/ncurses -I/usr/local/include/readline -I/usr/local/include"; export CPPFLAGS
    ./configure --prefix=$PYHOME 1>"$PYTHON"_cfg.log 2>&1
    make 1>"$PYTHON"_mk.log 2>&1
    sudo make install 1>"$PYTHON"_inst.log 2>&1

able to install setuptools-0.6c11 and libraries such as nose, cx_Oracle, pyODBC, etc.

suppose I compile and install openssl (same thing happens with openssl 1.0.0x as well)

    OPNSSL=openssl-1.0.1c
    tar xzf bin/$OPNSSL.tar.gz
    cd $OPNSSL
    ./config --prefix=/usr/local zlib-dynamic 1>"$OPNSSL"_cfg.log 2>&1
    make 1>"$OPNSSL"_mk.log 2>&1
    sudo make install 1>"$OPNSSL"_inst.log 2>&1

and change CPPFLAGS as
    CPPFLAGS="...  -I/usr/local/include/openssl -I/usr/local/include"; export CPPFLAGS

I can compile python but when I trying to install setuptools-0.6c11, I get

[... setuptools-0.6c11]$ sudo -E $PYHOME/bin/python setup.py build install
running build
running build_py
running install
