Tuviah once mentioned in a bugzilla note that Revolution is linked to 
"openssl 0.9 which is what we need to compile against on OSX to be 
compatible with 10.2".  Perhaps your system does not have 0.9.

I guess some things are hidden from finder.

I tried these from the Terminal on my 10.3.8 system:

      ls /usr/lib
      ls /usr/bin

I found these:

      libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib
      libcrypto.0.9.dylib
      libcrypto.dylib

      libssl.0.9.7.dylib
      libssl.0.9.dylib
      libssl.dylib

      openssl

You should check to see what you have and then include this in a bug 
report.

Once you get this resolved, then you need to set the sslCertificates 
property with a path to root certificates.  Folks on this list or Rev 
support if you qualify should be able to help you with that.
