Re: solaris install - 8.0.3 config fails on openssl, 7.4 config works

(Is keeping the traffic on the list the accepted protocol here? Or do we
cc an ever-increasing # of respondents?)

This solution worked (setting the CPPFLAGS).

The strange thing to me is that I didn't have to do anything extra for
the 7.4 install, it "just worked." Is that something I should be
concerned about or no?

Thanks! Upgrading this was so quick once I got this worked out. I love
it.

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" export CPPFLAGS

You have to set the CPPFLAGS to whatever your ssl/include path is.

Building a new server here (solaris 9), was going to put 8.0.3 on it.

- I've verified that the path to ssl.h is in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- I have openssl-0.97f, which is a later version than the 0.96 specified
in the FAQ (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_Solaris.html)
- I get the same error with 8.0.4
- I got fed up with troubleshooting it (it was a long day...) & tried
7.4 - configured with the same command and installed without a hitch.
