Abstract
A formal general solution of Einstein's equations in the static case containing an arbitrary function of is obtained. A necessary and sufficient condition that the arbitrary function must satisfy in order that the solution be physically meaningful in the neighborhood of the center is established. A mapping from Newtonian solutions is indicated. The case of infinite pressure at the center is considered. New solutions are given as examples.
