Trying to setup postgres with the postgres mac app and hit this error, which I haven't been able to solve. Any thoughts?

    ImportError: dlopen(/Users/Craig/pyenv/mysite/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so, 2): Library not loaded: @executable_path/../lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libpq.dylib
  Reason: image not found

I encountered this error while working on Django. I have it working on virtualenv with Django==1.3 but not on Django==1.5 where I have to issue the commands above.
