hi,
tom and many others helped me with someting similar to this.
Check for the following:
(a) in /usr/lib check what libpq you have installed. It should be libpq3.2 or higher. If it is not, you can copy from your compiled source and then create the symbolic links there.
(b) Try using etheral and see what is going through and what is happening. It really helps.
(c) You need to have keys on each (client and server side). What certificates are you using (self signed or commercial). I did mine with self-signed and it worked. My certificates go in /var/lib/pgsql
(d) Have your pg_hba.conf set up for openssl.
(e) Have the connection string give sslmode=allow
(f) when you use psql, use /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql instead of directly writing psql (that searches in /usr/bin in my machine and it isnt the right version) ...
[root@localhost DBApi]# ls -l /usr/lib/libpq*
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres root 1480452 Mar 10 2004 /usr/lib/libpq.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres root 21 Aug 29 15:00 /usr/lib/libpq.so -> /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres root 21 Aug 29 14:59 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 postgres root 113988 Mar 10 2004 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 postgres root 122177 Aug 26 12:55 /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.2
"allow" attempts a non-SSL connection first, whereas
"prefer" attempts an SSL connection first. If the server permits
non-SSL connections then "allow" will get you connected as non-SSL
without ever attempting SSL.
thanks,
vish

Hm. Does it work if you add "sslmode = disable" to your connection
string?
What's the platform exactly, and exactly which PG 8.0.* release are you
using? For that matter, are you sure you are linking your program to
the 8.0 libpq.so, and not still the 7.4 one?
