HI Vincent.

You need the sources of the OpenSSL library, not the compiled library.
On Ubuntu, the packages with sources are typically named xxx-dev where
xxx is the package that provides the library. I don't have a Ubuntu currently, but try looking for something like openssl-dev or
libopenssl-dev etc.

Thanks, the dev packege seems named libssl-dev.
But:
----------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo apt install libssl-dev

libssl-dev est déjà la version la plus récente (3.0.13-0ubuntu3.4). ----------------------------------------------------------------
In english: "libssl-dev is already the most recent version (3.0.13-0ubuntu3.4).

In case this helps you find the correct package to install:

$ python3 -c "if True:

import ssl
print('Ok.')
"

Ok.

$ cat /etc/lsb-release

Thanks Jason, I have near the same result of you.
I need to explain the context.
I'm on a new machine with a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 wich embed Python 3.12.3, no problem with that.

As I'm maintainer of some Python modules published on PyPI, I've the habit of testing my modules in different virtual environments. For now Python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.

So, I've maybe found a solution:

I've create in my home a dir named /opt, download into it the latest version of openssl-1.1.1 and uncompress it.(*)
-------------------------------------------------------------
$ cd opt/openssl-1.1.1w
$ ./config && make && make test
$ mkdir $HOME/opt/lib
$ mv $HOME/opt/openssl-1.1.1w/libcrypto.so.1.1 $HOME/opt/lib/
$ mv $HOME/opt/openssl-1.1.1w/libssl.so.1.1 $HOME/opt/lib/
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH --------------------------------------------------------------
And rerun the compilation of 3.12.9 without problem with openssl.

So, this is how I know where my SSL headers are found, for instance:
➜ cpython git:(3.12) gcc -I. -I./Include -H ./Modules/_ssl.c 2>&1 | grep evp.h
.. /usr/include/openssl/evp.h
(this was executed from the repository root).
Can you see if you get something similar?
Also... just for sanity check: did you run .configure? There's a lot
of twisted logic there trying to find OpenSSL. And, unfortunately,
error reporting is very poor. (The error you are getting comes way,
way after everything bad has already happened and all knowledge of how
it happened is lost). Just all around atrocious error handling.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 is pretty old, released in 2018 if I'm not mistaken.

An environment on Ubuntu 24.04 with OpenSSL 1.1.1 libraries is a bit
unusual. If your goal is to ensure that you can build Python with the
oldest OpenSSL it claims to support, what you're doing makes sense. But
if you have libssl-dev already installed and your Python build complains "Python requires a OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer", then something weird is
going on, and it's probably worth tracking it down. The best solution
*should* be to install the current libssl-dev package from the package
manager, not to build an old version of OpenSSL from source.

I've built Python-3.12.9 from source on Ubuntu-22.04 with no problems
(I have libssl-dev installed).

To be clear, what is the output of "dpkg -l libssl-dev" on your Ubuntu
24.04 system? If you get something similar to this:

```
$ dpkg -l libssl-dev
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-================-==============-============-================================================
ii libssl-dev:amd64 3.3.1-2ubuntu2 amd64 Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files
```

then I don't understand why you'd get the "Python requires a OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer" message.
