libssl.so.2

Hello,
I am using RedHat 7.1 and using postgresql-server-7.2-1.72.i386.rpm.
I get a libssl.so.2 not found when I issue the command INITDB.
I have downloaded and compiled both OpenSSL 0.9.6c and OpenSSL 0.9.6b but
I don't get a libssl.so.2 file. (I did a ./config shared)

Some questions.
0. Is this the right place to ask?
1. does openssl provide libssl.so.2?
2. If so, how do I get it?
3. If not, any clues on where/how I get libssl.so.2?

Thanks,
Clem.
