I'm attempting to install postgres with ssl

configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL
I don't have root on the machine I'm working on so did a local install
of openssl
using the source http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
Good!
I think I've pointed postgres configure at the local openssl install
however I'm still getting the same error
Looks like you didn't, or the postgress sources look for a file not
copied to the
local install dir by default.
A bit of googling suggests I need to install openssl-devel to get 'crypto'
This refers to binary pre-compiled openssl packages, where they usually
put just the runtime DLL/so and
the command line openssl tool in the main openssl package, and all the
headers etc. in an additional
openssl-devel package, to save disk space on computers that won't be
used to compile other software.
When installing from source you get everything at once, although not all
the stuff may be copied to your
local install dir.
So my question is, is crypto part of openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
Yes.
If it is I'm pointing configure at the wrong place and I need to look
elsewhere :-)
Maybe. Maybe not. Look in your local install and make sure all of the
following is there:
A directory "include/openssl/" containing lots of header files
Linkable shared libraries "lib/libcrypto.so" and "lib/libssl.so" (.DLL
if Windows, OS/2 or Symbian).
Linkable static libraries "lib/libcrypto.a" and "lib/libssl.a" (.LIB if
Windows, OS/2 or Symbian).
is its not what do I need to install|?
