checking whether to enable mod_ssl... configure: error: mod_ssl has been requested but cannot be built due to prerequisite failures

I am getting the below error while installing the Apache with SSL Module.

Issue:

checking whether to enable mod_slotmem_shm... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_slotmem_plain... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_ssl... checking dependencies
checking for OpenSSL... checking for user-provided OpenSSL base directory... none

no
checking whether to enable mod_ssl... configure: error: mod_ssl has been requested but cannot be built due to prerequisite failures 

Solution: Upgrade OPEN SSL

Download the updated version of OpenSSL Unzip and run

$ mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl_bkp
$ env LDFLAGS="-ldl" 
$ ./config -fPIC --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl shared

$ make depend
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

Reinstall Apache again
