Hi! The psqlODBC driver uses PostgreSQL's libpq library for connecting
to the server. It sounds like you're using a version of libpq that's not
built with OpenSSL. Are you using a pre-built package for libpq or
building it from sources?

If you're building libpq from PostgreSQL sources, you need to pass the
"configure --with-openssl" flag to PostgreSQL's configure.
