but libcrypto is present:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2043536 Dec 10 04:53 /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4209728 Dec 10 04:53 /usr/lib/libcrypto.35.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Sep 24 13:20 /usr/lib/libcrypto.dylib -> libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib

The config.log file for 9.3.2 passes the test.

And for the 9.3.2 image:
eagle:Desktop postgres$ otool -L /usr/local/bin/postgres
/usr/local/bin/postgres:
/usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 50.0.0)
/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 50.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)
eagle:Desktop postgres$

Any suggestions?

Not a suggestion, but a question:

What are the full command line invocations to configure for 9.3 and 9.6?

Now a suggestion, do you have the openssl devel package installed?

Thanks

Jerry

Hmm, I'm not really sure why it's failing at that step --- it gets past
that for me. Possibly looking into config.log to see if there's a more
detailed error report would be illuminating. However, trying to build
against Apple's openssl libraries is a lost cause anyway, because they
removed the header files in Sierra. So it will fail when it gets to
header file checks; where it stops for me is

checking for openssl/ssl.h... no
configure: error: header file <openssl/ssl.h> is required for OpenSSL

AFAIK the only way forward is to install a complete OpenSSL installation
from source, or using MacPorts or brew or other tool-of-choice.

Apple would really like people to start using their SSL infrastructure.
That handwriting has been on the wall for years, but nobody's gotten
around to writing the necessary interface logic for Postgres.

Sigh,

I will try to build without OpenSSL…

My database is seventeen years old, I don’t even remember
which Postgresql I started out with...

I am not a Mac user, but from the below it does not seem that difficult
to get around Apples decision:

Of course there is another option, prebuilt binaries:
