Well, yeah. It looks like there is something pretty broken about your openssl installation. At the very least you need a LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or local equivalent) pointing to wherever libcrypto.so is hiding ... but a reasonable installation of openssl should have taken care of that for you. Possibly you could build postgres with an rpath (or local equivalent) pointing to openssl's library directory. I used to have all sorts of problems with openssl on AIX (not just Postgres, but other packages I tried building with it). We had to build our own version to get it working with pretty much anything.
