I'm working on a Windows application that will connect to a Postgresql database without having through ODBC. I'm using libpq and testing with a simple PQconnectdb/PQfinish call but the application fails as soon as PQconnectdb is called. The error I get says that libeay32.dll is missing. I have no idea what this program is and why it would be required. I've tested this exact same code before on a PC where I had installed the Windows ODBC driver for Postgesql and the code worked using libpq like it should. However, on this new machine, I get the libeay32.dll error. Any thoughts on this? I don't have to install the ODBC driver, do I? It would hurt if that is true. Update... One thing - I found a copy of this file in a directory for SmartTerm so I tried copying it over to my test application's directory. Now when I run it, I get "procedure entry point X509_STORE_set_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library libeay32.dll" I have no idea why this is being required.
