I just reinstalled my system and am in the process of getting PostgreSQL up and running again. During compilation of Postgres I received the following error:
... [A lot of configure messages go here]
checking for main in -lunix... no
checking for library containing crypt... -lcrypt
checking for library containing fdatasync... none required
checking for shmget in -lcygipc... no
checking for readline... yes (-lreadline)
checking for inflate in -lz... yes
checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL
I have never received this error before. It does appear that the crypt libraries are installed as can be seen on the second line of output that I included. Not knowing how the configure file works I was wondering if it is looking for something related but is using an inappropriate error message? Any ideas?
