[Xymon] Monitoring HTTPS sites

I believe that you'll want to run "make clean" before rerunning "configure --server".

I know I don't have any issues with blocked ports or anything.  I think the SSL Libraries are still not configured.  When I run (xymonnet
--version) it still only shows my xymon version and no SSL libraries. I installed openssl and libssl-dev

I am not sure what path to include when I run the ./configure.server command.

When do I run the make clean?
