CMake not able to find OpenSSL library

I am trying to install a software that uses cmake to install itself. When I run cmake .. on the command line, it gives me following error in the CMakeLists.txt on the line that says find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED):

-- Could NOT find Git (missing:  GIT_EXECUTABLE) 
ZLib include dirs: /usr/include
ZLib libraries: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libz.so
Compiling with SSL support
CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (message):
  Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the
  system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES
  OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:291 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /usr/local/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindOpenSSL.cmake:313 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  CMakeLists.txt:436 (find_package)

Here is the part of the file CMakeLists.txt where the error is coming from:

#
# OpenSSL
#
if (WITH_SSL)
    message("Compiling with SSL support")

    if (USE_CYASSL)
        # Use CyaSSL as OpenSSL replacement.
        # TODO: Add a find_package command for this also.
        message("CyaSSL include dir: ${CYASSL_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
        message("CyaSSL libraries: ${CYASSL_LIB}")

        # Additional to the root directory we need to include
        # the cyassl/ subdirectory which contains the OpenSSL
        # compatability layer headers.
        foreach(inc ${CYASSL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
            include_directories(${inc} ${inc}/cyassl)
        endforeach()

        list(APPEND LIB_LIST ${CYASSL_LIB})
    else()
        # TODO: Add support for STATIC also.
        find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)

        message("OpenSSL include dir: ${OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
        message("OpenSSL libraries: ${OPENSSL_LIBRARIES}")

        include_directories(${OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR})
        list(APPEND LIB_LIST ${OPENSSL_LIBRARIES})
    endif()
endif(WITH_SSL)

I have OpenSSL installed here:

ssl header is here   -- > /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/
ssl library is here  -- > /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a
                          /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.a
openssl is here      -- > /usr/local/ssl/bin

I have in my .profile:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/ssl
export OPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/ssl/lib/

PATH = /usr/local/ssl/bin:$PATH

How can I resolve this error?

EDIT:

Now I am getting this error

/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a(dso_dlfcn.o): In function `dlfcn_globallookup':
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `dlopen'
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x24): undefined reference to `dlsym'
dso_dlfcn.c:(.text+0x30): undefined reference to `dlclose'

I had the same problem (openssl) and this worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. The solution is the same up to Ubuntu 18.04 (tested).

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

fixed it on macOS using

brew install openssl
cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
