i've already compiled postgresql 6.5.
i'd a problem when i run pgaccess.
always appeared error messages :

" Error in startup script : couldn't load file "libpgtcl.so"; /usr/local/pgsql/libpgtcl.so :undefined symbol :crypt "

Make sure you link to the crypt library too.  For instance, I use
g++, and to compile the Postgres program I'm working on, the command line
is:
    g++ test.cpp -o test.cgi -lpq -lpq++ -lcrypt
Where test.cpp is my source file, test.cgi is the executable I
want, and -lpq, -lpq++ and -lcrypt are the Postgres libraries I need for
Postgres to work right.  If this doesn't clear it up enough, write back.

Go to the PostgreSQL 6.5 source directory and
$ cd src/interfaces/libpgtcl
Edit the Makefile adding -lcrypt to the end of the line "SHLIB_LINK+=
_L../libpq -lpq"

Make clean and make again and then make install
The libpgtcl.so library is now prepared to work fine!
