I would suggest you avoid building software as root. Especially code you might not trust or understand. A misplaced environment variable and it might delete your whole OS.

For example, what if it had something like:

rm -rf /usr/$software_name

And the $software_name variable was undefined?

Run as a normal user, it would just give a bunch of errors about being unable to delete files in /usr. Run as root, it would delete everything under /usr and the directory itself.

Most likely you need to install the “openssl-devel” package. (dnf install openssl-devel)
