libssl.so.4 errors

Hi All,

AMD 64 X2 system
Fedora Core 7

I installed the Linux x64 Core Bundle. There were errors in the install logs which basically were all :

/opt/edb-postgres/8.2/bin/psql.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when I tried to run the Server, the server logs showed :

/opt/edb-postgres/8.2/bin/pg_ctl.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/opt/edb-postgres/8.2/bin/pg_ctl.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/opt/edb-postgres/8.2/bin/pg_ctl.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/opt/edb-postgres/8.2/bin/pg_ctl.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched for libssl.so.4 in the entire fedora system and didn't find any...

I then searched for libssl.so.* and found that newer versions of the shared library was installed by Enterprise DB...

ahmm help please?

Many thanks in advance.

Dear calhoun,

Try following work around:

1. Copy the libssl.so.* file, for instance, libssl.so.0.9.8, installed with EnterpriseDB Postgres from /opt/edb-postgres/8.2/utils/lib to /usr/lib

2. Create a symlink to the above file in /usr/lib as ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.4

3. Uninstall EnterpriseDB Postgres, reinstall EnterpriseDB Postgres.

Let us know if it works or not.

The libssl.so.* file would also needs to go in /usr/lib64. A symlink should also be created there for libssl.so.4.

So, the steps would become:

1. Copy the libssl.so.* file, for instance, libssl.so.0.9.8, installed with EnterpriseDB Postgres from /opt/edb-postgres/8.2/utils/lib to /usr/lib and /usr/lib64

2. Create a symlink to the above file in /usr/lib as ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.4

3. Create a symlink to the above file in /usr/lib64 as ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.4

4. Uninstall EnterpriseDB Postgres, reinstall EnterpriseDB Postgres.

Hi,

Was actually going to try the symlink tomorrow but I decided to download the beta for enterprisedb v 8.3 first hoping that the bin files have been recompiled already to use the new libraries.

Anyways thanks! I will try out the symlink and post an update.

Dear calhoun,

8.3 installer has this fix

. Next release of 8.2 installer will also have this fix.

Kind Regards,

Hi,
8.3 worked fine.

Thanks.
