To check the actual function we requires a valid server. Yesterday I
have posted the problem to the libssh2 mailing list, but still didn't get
response.Meanwhile
I have fixed the review comments given by Dave. Attached is the complete
patch with
AC_CHECK_LIB(ssh2, libssh2_md5 [IS_LIBSSH2_OPENSSL_CRYPTO=yes],
[IS_LIBSSH2_OPENSSL_CRYPTO=no]) and it works with both version of
libssh2.

Can we include libssh2 source code with pgAdmin3 to solve the problem?
Thoughts??Comments?
