cannot configure serf with openssl

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install openssl following:
./config -prefix=$HOME/install/openssl --enable-shared
make
make install

2. install apr, apr-util

cd apr
./configure -prefix=$HOME/install/apr LDFLAGS=”-L/lib64″
make
make install
cd ..

#compile apr-util,–with-apr 
cd apr-util
./configure -prefix=$HOME/install/apr-util -with-apr=$HOME/install/apr 
LDFLAGS=”-L/lib64″
make
make install
cd ..

3. Then when i try to download serf and install it, the problem happened:
cd serf
./configure -prefix=$HOME/install/serf -with-apr=$HOME/install/apr 
-with-apr-util=$HOME/install/apr-util -with-openssl=$HOME/install/openssl

or 
python scons.py APR=$HOME/install/apr APU=$HOME/install/apr-util 
OPENSSL=$HOME/install/openssl PREFIX=$HOME/install/serf

There are some errors after type this command.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the output is:
/usr/bin/ld: $HOME/install/openssl/lib/libssl.a(s23_clnt.o): relocation 
R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; 
recompile with -fPIC
$HOME/install/openssl/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

serf 1.3.1 and 1.1.1

openssl 1.0.1e

Please provide any additional information below.

I would like to ask how could i fix this problem? Why Ihave this problem?

Can you please add your operating system and version to your issue report?

It looks like your platform uses some gcc like toolchain, but there are more 
than a few separate setups that fall in that category.
