Doing a dpkg -L on the SSL packages one by one should tell you where those files. dpkg -l libssl (I think that was the name of one) | grep "\.h" should get you somewhere.
In place of the apt-cache command, you might try aptitude. Which is the primary command for package management is a bit in flux at the moment on Ubuntu.

I am not able to determine where the SSL headers are on my system. The apt-file command doesn't work saying I need to install it yet when I try it says the package doesn't exist. I have tried to run the ./configure command using the following paths to point to where I think the ssl headers are but I always get an error when I run make and make install.
Paths I have used in my ./configure command: /etc/ssl /usr/include/openssl /usr/lib/ssl/misc /usr/local /usr/src /usr/lib
The errors I am getting are: undefined reference to 'SSLv2_client_method' make[1]: *** [xymonnet] Error 1 make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2
I have to run the ./configure command with paths to the pcreinclude and pcrelib or else it won't find them - same for the OpenSSL.
I am worried I might mess up my current setup since Xymon is working well running on SSL. It just not able to monitor other https sites.

Can you actually 'su - ' to root on this box? I suspect that your environment does not have proper path and lib path statements. If you can't su to root then most likely you WILL need to provide the path to the SSL goodies. You will need to see where the libraries and include files are installed. Usually /usr/local/ssl, might be /usr/local/openssl on your system. Use whatever tools you have to find the install location for these packages and add the flags as needed.
apt-file list libssl-dev apt-file list libssl0.9.8
--sslinclude DIRECTORY : Specify location of OpenSSL include files --ssllib DIRECTORY : Specify location of OpenSSL libraries
./build/ssl.sh shows the search patterns.
Good Luck,

When I run (sudo ./configure.server --pcreinclude /usr/include --pcrelib /usr/lib) I get the following: "OpenSSL include or library-files not found.

Good, you've got the required SSL stuff. You should be able to perform a clean build of Xymon now.
Give it a go and let us know how it goes :)
