You may be trying to statically link, but the -L option and -lcrypto are looking for a file to link with dynamically. To statically link to a specific library, just specify your .a file on the compiler command line after all your source files.

E.g.,

gcc -I/home/aleksei/openSSL0.9.8/include -o app tema1.c ./libcrypto.a
