Compiling nagios-plugins-1.4.16 throws an error

I was installing Nagios on a new Ubuntu Server following this guide, but using the latest versions (Nagios 3.4.1 and Nagios Plugins 1.4.15).

Running make on the Nagios Plugins threw me the following error: 
....
 check_http.c:312:9: error: ‘ssl_version’ undeclared (first use in this function)
....
make[2]: *** [check_http.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/nicadmin/nagios-plugins-1.4.16/plugins'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nicadmin/nagios-plugins-1.4.16'
make: *** [all] Error 2


A workaround is installing the libssl-dev package and reconfiguring. 
root@host1:~/nagios-plugins-1.4.16# apt-get install libssl-dev
root@host1:~/nagios-plugins-1.4.16# ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
root@host1:~/nagios-plugins-1.4.16# make
root@host1:~/nagios-plugins-1.4.16# make install

    I received the same error message within Centos 6.4 and yum install openssl-devel -y corrected the issue for me.
