If you definitely want TLS, you can run configure with the --with-tls 
option. That way configure will fail instead of just giving you a warning.

Look closely in the config.log file generated by configure to see where 
the failure occurs. Lines that begin with "Checking for..." are of 
interest when followed by lines about failures.

Finally, I'll mention that last week I was getting a failure that looked 
the same up to what you describe. The issue was actually that I had 
compiled dso support into my own OpenSSL install (an OpenSSL configure 
default), which would require dynamic library support for the OpenLDAP 
build. I rebuilt OpenSSL with the no-dso option and then OpenLDAP built 
fine.
