See below.  One oddity, if I compile without the --with-openssl flag 
(for the configure command) then it works fine.

Also, I forgot to mention that we are having to add the 
--disable-thread-safety flag or the configure command fails complaining 
that the platform is not thread safe - I suspect this is not the issue 
but figured I should mention it just in case...



$ ./postgres -V
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./postgres because of the following 
errors:
         0509-150   Dependent module libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7) 
could not be loaded.
         0509-022 Cannot load module libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.7).
         0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name 
does not exist.
