Thread: psql: relocation error: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl

I have tried using both the postgresql-7.2.tar.gz and  postgresql-7.2.3.tar.gz
I get the same error:


[postgres@localhost intarray]$ createdb test
CREATE DATABASE
[postgres@localhost intarray]$ psql test
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms

       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

psql: relocation error: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl

Can you please advise me what to do?

It looks to me like psql is picking up a copy of libpq.so that does not
have SSL support --- probably a libpq.so that is leftover from some
older installation.  Check your shared library search path.  It's
difficult to give any more detail than that when you didn't specify
your platform, but perhaps ldconfig or LD_LIBRARY_PATH is what to look
at.
