Abhishek,

this doesn't look like a PostgreSQL bug -- rather like a botched
installation.

Moreover, it doesn't help to file a non-bug twice, creating two bug
numbers ;-)

That said, I'd recommend to find out which package of your distribution
carries the missing library (libssl.so.4) and to (re-) install this
package. As a first attempt, a search in rpmfind

  <http://search.rpmseek.com/search.html>

for libssl seems to lead to the package "openssl". But I'd recommend you
try yourself (I'm by no means a Fedora expert!).

Regards

That's not a standard location for PostgreSQL under Fedora.  It could
be some other RPM repository (which?) but if so the dependencies are
broken, since otherwise it would've insisted on having the matching
SSL libraries installed too.  My suspicion is that this is a home-brew
compile, but in any case the broad outline of the picture is clear:
the SSL libraries are not installed where PostgreSQL can find them.

A local compile could not have generated an executable containing a
reference to a library that's not on the system.  My bet is that the
OP installed an RPM that's not for this specific version of Fedora
(and used --nodeps to override rpm's complaints about the lack of
required libraries).

If you can't find a set of RPMs that exactly match your system, the
best bet would be to grab the source RPM (SRPM) and rebuild locally.
That should generate RPMs that match the library versions you have.

Another solution is to move to a version of Fedora that's still
maintained ...

If the installation is done by the One-Click Installer (from
EnterpriseDB), Then it contains the libssl.so.4.
Please check the /opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib directory for that library.
It's strange though as the path is added in your ld.so.conf.d/
Also if your system has libssl.so.4 in /lib or /usr/lib that will take
precedence but the error suggest you dont.
