I was able to configure Postgres Version 8.4.4. Now when I execute the make I get the following:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/local/openssl/lib64/libssl.a(t1_meth.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/openssl/lib64/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [libpq.so.5.2] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/postgresql-8.4.4/src/interfaces/libpq' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/postgresql-8.4.4/src/interfaces' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/postgresql-8.4.4/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 Thansk: Peter
