What kind of system do you have? Where does the -lcrypt live on your system? BTW, doing the pg_config --libs will not give us the right thing here. For instance, on my system, this returns: -lpgport -lxslt -lxml2 -lpam -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lz -lreadline -lcrypt -ldl -lm Many of these things are most definitely not needed for the client to be linked in (i.e. the --libs gives libraries used to build PostgreSQL, not ones required to link to pq). We have to find a better way to do this... -- Bojan
