Don't have directory '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'. But instructions to install a software says './configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'

I am trying to install NRPE (nagios remote plugin executor) in a CentOS system. In the configuration step, the document I have been given to refer to says, ./configure --enable-command-args --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu But the directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu is not present in my system. These are the contents of the /usr/lib directory: [root@pr2 ~]# ls /usr/lib lib/ lib64/ libexec/ [root@pr2 ~]# ls /usr/lib/ binfmt.d/ grub/ NetworkManager/ sysctl.d/ cpp kbd/ polkit-1/ systemd/ debug/ kdump/ python2.7/ tmpfiles.d/ dracut/ kernel/ rpm/ tuned/ firewalld/ locale/ sendmail udev/ firmware/ modprobe.d/ sendmail.postfix yum-plugins/ games/ modules/ sendmail.sendmail gcc/ modules-load.d/ sse2/ According to the answer here , it may be that more modern system have this directory (although the question and answer in the link is about Ubuntu, I think it is safe to assume that the same is true of CentOS systems, since my installation doc for CentOS mentions this directory?). So, **what do I replace the location in the aforementioned command with if I am missing that directory**? In case it helps, this is the version of CentOS in my machine: [root@pr2 ~]# rpm --query centos-release centos-release-7-4.1708.el7.centos.x86_64
