RE: Build ODBC Drivers for Solaris with TLS support

Heikki,

Thank you for the quick response.  To build the ODBC drivers, I used the package from the PostgreSQL site for
solaris10-sparc64-
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v11.9/solaris/solaris10/sparc/postgresql-11.9-S10.sparc-64.tar.bz2

After I send this message to the list I started wondering about the PG install itself, so I guess I was on the right
track. Are those packages not built with SSL support? 

Regards,
David

Hi! The psqlODBC driver uses PostgreSQL's libpq library for connecting to the server. It sounds like you're using a
versionof libpq that's not built with OpenSSL. Are you using a pre-built package for libpq or building it from sources? 

If you're building libpq from PostgreSQL sources, you need to pass the "configure --with-openssl" flag to PostgreSQL's
configure.
