Well, without this patch, I always get a "PostgreSQL SSL support:
Missing" message after configure. config.log shows this:
configure:5737: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L/opt/postgresql-head/lib
conftest.c -lpq >&5
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccAr1HM4.o: undefined reference to symbol
'SSL_connect'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'SSL_connect' is defined in
DSO /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.10: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
My full config.log is attached.
And actually, I'm not alone having issues with SSL. See
