Re: how to compile postgresql with other version of openssl?

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(at)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(at)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. Check the file 'config.log'
for the exact reason.
