Well, yeah. It looks like there is something pretty broken about your
openssl installation. At the very least you need a LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or
local equivalent) pointing to wherever libcrypto.so is hiding ... but
a reasonable installation of openssl should have taken care of that for
you. Possibly you could build postgres with an rpath (or local
equivalent) pointing to openssl's library directory.
