well, probably; in a situation like this I'd first check for any errors
from the configure step. Did it by any chance complain about not
finding the SSL library?

Next thing to check: is the postmaster linked against the SSL library?
cd /your/postgres/install/path/bin
ldd postgres|grep ssl

should output something like
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x0000002a95775000)

if not, SSL is likely not compiled in; go back to checking the
configure part.

If you have positively confirmed, that SSL support is compiled in,
you likely simply don't use your newly built postgres. Check paths
and start scripts and make sure, it uses your new built binaries.

If that's not it, I think you have to provide more information about
your platform.
