Install openssl rpms using RH 8.0 cd.

You need to install openssl as well if this is not already done.

If it is already installed, then your system needs to know how to find those
library files, check the man page on LDCONFIG on how to insert them into
your library path.

It's also possible that he has libcrypto/libssl but they are not the
same version wanted by the Postgres RPM.  In that case the best approach
is to get the Postgres source RPM and rebuild it locally (producing a
custom binary RPM that depends on exactly the versions you have).  The
other way would be to update the libcrypto/libssl install to version
2.0, but that would likely break other stuff.
