KDE requires CMake 2.6.4.
So, you replaced the FindOpenSSL.cmake in kdelibs/cmake/modules/ with the one 
from CMake 2.8.4, right ?

Which version of CMake did you use ?
It must be tested with CMake 2.6.4.
You can get it simply from here:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.4-Linux-i386.tar.gz
unpack it e.g. into /opt/, and then use this cmake by calling it with its full 
path on a fresh build tree.

If that works, then it's good :-)

You are testing this under Linux, right ?
