Go into the directory that you untarred the src to and type: 
./configure --help

[download]
A list of all the different options will popup. I would recommend doing: 
./configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld

[download]
The "--with-gnu-ld" is necessary in order to properly do ldconfig. So the mantra is: 
./configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-ld
make
make check
make install
/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib

[download]
Now run 
whereis libssh2

[download]
If everything's in order, then it should return something like: 
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.so
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.a
/usr/local/lib/libssh2.la

[download]
Update: I think that you have the same problem with OpenSSL. Here's the most recent tarball:

http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz

It's a slightly more complicated procedure. First, you need to remove the current openssl include headers. Then do 
./Configure linux-elf -march=pentium
make 
make test 
make install

[download]
Next, you must manually install Net::SSH2. 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
perl Makefile.PL lib=/usr/local/lib
make
make test
make install

[download]
Now, you're good to go...
