Error install nodejs...SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods

installing node-v0.4.8 on mac os x leopard, I get the following error:

../src/node_crypto.cc:2917: error: ‘SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods’ was not declared in this scope
Waf: Leaving directory `/usr/local/node-v0.4.8/build'
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1): 
    {task: cxx node_crypto.cc -> node_crypto_4.o}


make: *** [program] Error 1

Anyone experienced this error installing the latest nodejs? Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry, don't know how to comment instead of post an answer. But this didn't work for me. Same SSL error. This however worked:

This is fine for now since I'm just prototyping, but obviously lack of SSL sucks.

The version of openssl included with MacOSX is not the latest. I would recommend grabbing the latest version here:

http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz

Extracting it to your directory of choice, cd to that directory:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

The last sudo command will require you enter your admin password. Then go to the node.js source directory and:

$ ./configure --openssl-includes=/usr/local --openssl-libpath=/usr/local

This will tell node to use the custom built openssl we just compiled and installed. Then finally:

$ make
$ sudo make install
