I received absolutely no reply to my question on the CentOS mailing list so I have to turn to this venue again for help. I note the following things: postgresql-server.i386 8.4.4-2PGDG.el5 installed openssl.i686 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6 installed Might there be a problem between the server being compiled for i386 and openssl for i686? I cannot for the life of me determine what configuration problem causes this error. On Fri, December 3, 2010 16:04, James B.
