3.8beta client throwing: "invalid connection option 'requiressl'" on database connection attempt (Ubuntu 11.10, 64bit)

Hi--

I've not futzed much with this, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this?  I'm guessing libpq (or related) wasn't compiled with SSL on that platform... but thought I'd ask.  

Thanks,

Steve

3.7.4 too

I found the same issue on 3.7.4, too.

I did find that a 'nasty hack' was able to get me in at least with 3.7.4 (didn't try 3.8.0beta)... I renamed the sqldrivers directory and libpq.so.5 in the 3.7.4 distribution and copied the same from the known working 3.7.2 client distribution. After doing so, 3.7.4 connected to the database and so far seems to be working well. Of course it's hard to say how stable this will be, but it does help point to a root cause.

I think I'll file a bug report for this at this point.

Thanks,
Steve

(Am I the only Linux user that requires encrypted connections? O_o)

I'm getting similar issues

Hi Steve,

I'm gettng similar connection issues with 3.7.4 with or without encrypted connections. On the same system (Ubuntu 11.10) client 3.7.0 works however 3.7.4 does not. I've tried playing around with libraries and naming but not found a solution as yet. So I would agree that something was missed when compiling the latest Linux clients.

This should be addressed by the Linux-only 3.7.4a release
