I lost a couple of hours trying to figure out why openssl-sys wouldn't compile, even though I had a local system installation of OpenSSL. Turns out I was using 3.0.7, which is unsupported. When I downgrade to 3.0.0 and update my pkg-config path for the new installation, everything compiles correctly.
The current error message is too implicit, since the reader is left to assume that by simply installing OpenSSL that the error should be resolved. The new error message makes it explicit that only specific OpenSSL versions are supported.
