Trouble Installing PostgreSQL from RPM and Compiling PostgreSQL support into pHP5

[topdog]

Hi,
Firstly: I'm running CentOS 5.4 64 bit, PHP 5.2.13, Apache 2.2.15, DirectAdmin 1.35.1, and MySQL 5.1.46.
I'm attempting to install PostgreSQL using RPM. I use the command: rpm -ivh postgresql*.rpm
The following error messages appear after the above command:
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4()(64bit) is needed by postgresql-8.4.3-1PGDG.rhel4.x86_64

What do these errors mean? And how can they be fixed?
Also, if using custombuild, how would I compile PHP with PostgreSQL support built in?
Thanks.

These errors are dependency issues - your package requires these to run. My guess is you're trying to install a release of PostgreSQL that is "too new" for your install.

There is a DA Plugin (it's a little out of date), but it might be still OK for your needs:

Got PostgreSQL installed from Yum and that worked.
