I'm having the same issue trying to build python3.10 on CentOS 7.9

==================================================================

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

$ uname -r | cut -d"-" -f1

==================================================================

I've built and installed openssl 3.0.0 in the default location.

==================================================================
==================================================================

$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

$ whereis openssl
openssl: /usr/bin/openssl /usr/lib64/openssl /usr/include/openssl /usr/share/man/man1/openssl.1ossl

==================================================================
==================================================================

Attempting the fix listed in https://bugs.python.org/issue45371 I still am met with the same issue:

$ ./configure --enable-optimizations --with-lto --with-system-ffi --with-computed-gotos --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions --with-openssl=/usr/lib64/openssl --with-openssl-rpath=auto

$ make -j40

...

Could not build the ssl module!
Python requires a OpenSSL 1.1.1 or newer

==================================================================
==================================================================

Should I be using a path other than /usr/lib64/openssl?

I need more information to assist you. Could you please provide:

- the steps how you compiled and install your custom OpenSSL installation
- the output of "ls /usr/lib64/openssl"
- your config.log file (please upload)
- the output of "make -j1" for the steps "building '_ssl' extension" and "building '_hashlib' extension"

This docker file will get you the same environment:

## Build Command ##
#    docker build --rm -t centos7/builder .
## Run Command ##
#    docker run --rm -it centos7/builder
# INSIDE DOCKER:
#    make -j $(nproc)

FROM centos:7

/usr/lib64/openssl11 is not a valid OpenSSL root directory. The option expects an OpenSSL installation directory with bin, lib, and include subdirectories. The custom scheme from CentOS EPEL openssl11 package is not supported.

Update:

I came up with a hack that lets you use the openssl11 module from EPEL with Python:
