Hi there,

Could you please post the output of the "rpm -q openssl-devel" command? 
If nothing shows up, then openssl-devel is *not* installed. I just tried 
using the "yum search" command for something not installed, and i got a 
simialr output to yours. Just becasue it shows up in "yum search" does 
not mean it's installed, "rpm -q" does.  Best of luck!
