1.8.7.2 Problems with OpenSSL

When you build PostgreSQL with OpenSSL support you might get compilation errors in the following files:

• ‘src/backend/libpq/crypt.c’
• ‘src/backend/libpq/password.c’
• ‘src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c’
• ‘src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c’

This is because of a namespace conflict between the standard ‘/usr/include/crypt.h’ header and the header files provided by OpenSSL.

Upgrading your OpenSSL installation to version 0.9.6a fixes this problem. Solaris 9 and above has a newer version of OpenSSL.
