See below.  One oddity, if I compile without the --with-openssl flag
(for the configure command) then it works fine.

Also, I forgot to mention that we are having to add the
--disable-thread-safety flag or the configure command fails complaining
that the platform is not thread safe - I suspect this is not the issue
but figured I should mention it just in case...



$ ./postgres -V

errors:
