Richard,

You were right I had to install the OpenSSL development package, then all
was well. Thanks for the pointer!

"crypt" will be the traditional unix-style passwd encryption. "crypto"
appears to be ssl-related stuff. You probably want to make sure you've
installed the development package 
(headers) for openssl.

P.S. There are PostgreSQL packages for common platforms, that's probably 
the simplest way to install.
