Actually, assuming you're using the SSL-patch by Rootie, you'd need to use the "--with-ssl=/path/to/openssl" flag with configure.. think it's even listed when you use the --help option.
It would also seem you only installed the runtime libraries, and not the devel-packages for openssl. Without those you will never be able to compile your bot with SSL-support

"--prefix" only alters where eggdrop will be installed...
