/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssh2 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I am trying to install libssl-dev on ubuntu 14.04 using sudo apt-get install libssl-dev. The installation completes. However during compilation i get error 

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssh2
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have used libssl-dev previously and i didn't get this error. I have tried to search for libssl.so using locate libssl.so and i get the following directories:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so

I have tried to link these libraries using -L /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -lssh2 during compilation. However the compiler still cannot find ssh2. What is not working?

ssl is not ssh. You will need to install the right packages, libssh2-dev in this case.
