It seems that some port to FreeBSD didn't include the crypt library when
compiling libpgtcl interface and a -lcrypt has to be introduced in the
Makefile when linking the library.
Your error message seems to point to the same bug.
Unfortunately, on my distribution, RedHat 4.2 the interface libpgtcl.so
has fine and I didn't need that patch.

Maybe there is someone on this list that could help you.
Please let me know when you will be able to run PgAccess.
