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

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?
