Find the exact error your getting in config.log

If I Download the EDB installer on and try to build slony against it I 
get the following:

configure:5192: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   -L/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib/ 
conftest.c -lpq   >&5
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libssl.so.4, needed by 
/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib//libpq.so, not found (try using -rpath or 
-rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libcrypto.so.4, needed by 
/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib//libpq.so, not found (try using -rpath or 
-rpath-link)
/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib//libpq.so: undefined reference to `TLSv1_method'
/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib//libpq.so: undefined reference to `SSL_set_ex_data'
/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib//libpq.so: undefined reference to `SSL_connect'

which is probably what you are getting.  It looks like EDB libpq was 
built against libssl which we are not linking to?
