and that is probably why openssl-1.0.1p works - it does not seem to have any *.so files so I guess its not dynamicly linked into other programs (?). root@sv1 [/root]# ls /usr/openssl-0.9.8zg/lib ./ ../ engines/ libcrypto.a libcrypto.so@ libcrypto.so.0.9.8* libssl.a libssl.so@ libssl.so.0.9.8* pkgconfig/ root@sv1 [/root]# ls /usr/openssl-1.0.1p/lib ./ ../ engines/ libcrypto.a libssl.a pkgconfig/ Still seems a postgresql bug when linking against openssl-0.9.8zg in a custom location or maybe actualy any *.so lib anywhere pinpointed by LDFLAGS ./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/openssl-0.9.8zg/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/openssl-0.9.8zg/lib" --with-openssl Could not execute a simple test program. This may be a problem related to locating shared libraries.
