Ok, whoa just a minute.

Red Hat 7.1 includes a set of OpenSSL RPMS.  Due to potential binary
compatibility difficulties between the version of OpenSSL distributed with
Red Hat 7.1 and the current version of OpenSSL, upgrading from the one to the
newer is NOT recommended.  It is possible for both to cooexist -- at least,
they can on a Red Hat >7.1.  But upgrading (which removes the old OpenSSL)
will BREAK packages that are already installed on the system.

The recommendation is to rebuild PostgreSQL from source RPM, or upgrade to Red
Hat 7.3 so that all the dependencies are properly satisfied.  Otherwise other
programs on the system may break.
