If licq uses a "configure" script, you can usually tell the configure
script with a command something like this:

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/lib/ssl --with-ssl-includes=/usr/local
/include/ssl

(Fill in with the paths of your choice)

Headers are the files that end in .h -- so ssl.h is the header.   libs
usually
live in a folder called "lib" and usually end is .so or .a -- So
libssl.so is
your library.

Hope this helps.
