Hello, I am new to the world of PostgreSQL. I recently installed the
PostgreSQL database and tried to compile one of the example C programs
from the web site. I fixed a few typo's then it compiled, but when it
goes to do the linking I get an error complaining about undefined
reference to crypt. I have included the exact error message and gcc
version below. Please help, do you have any suggestions? I recently
installed PostgreSQL v 6.3.2. If I can't a C program to compile, it's
going to make using PostgreSQL very hard for this project.
Thanks in advance,
Matt O'Connor
