A (not so) wild guess would be gcc having trouble finding some of your
libraries. However, to see what's really going wrong I suggest you do
the following:

a) Create a file mytest.c consisting of:
int main() { return 0; }

b) $ gcc -o mytest mytest.c -I/usr/local/ssl/include
-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket
-ldl -lm -lreadline -ltermcap

c) If that works try
$ ./mytest
$ echo $?

This ought to give you a pointer as to what is going wrong.
