failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.99

Hello, I am getting this error when I am trying to install modkit with command:
cargo install --path .

I have openssl verison:
/share/apps/rc/software/OpenSSL/1.1/bin/openssl

when running this command:

cargo install --path .
Installing mod_kit v0.2.5 (/data/user/home/mbansal/local/modkit)

error: failed to run custom build command for openssl-sys v0.9.99

Hello @vetmohit89,

From a quick internet search it looks like openssl has some system dependencies that you're missing. This thread might be helpful to pull on. Have you tried using the pre-compiled release binaries? Given that this problem stems from one of the build dependencies and not modkit itself, how do you feel about raising the issue in rust-openssl instead?

[vetmohit89]

These are the commands I followed to fix this issue:

module reset
module load Perl/5.36.1-GCCcore-12.3.0
module load CMake/3.26.4-GCCcore-13.1.0
cd modkit
cargo install --git https://github.com/nanoporetech/modkit.git

Thank you
Mohit
