Hi Adam,

obviously the Redhat binary distribution needs dynamically linked
libcrypto and libssl. IMHO we should spend the additional 10kb and have
both libs statically linked to pgAdmin3, to avoid these dependencies. Or
did Jean-Michel just forget to use --enable-static when building?

AFAIR we confirmed that by default dynamic linking should be used, while
our binary distributions should be as static as possible to minimize
dependencies.
