Thanks Stefan and Stefan :)
Unfortunately, I still have not been able to install MonetDB. After installing PCRE and OpenSSL, I ran the install script again and I still get the error that OpenSSL library is not being found. This is clearly not the case as I even added it (OpenSSL's bin directory) to the system path, and am able to get to the OpenSSL prompt.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again.
