Tom,
I pulled down the latest 6.4 snapshot today & had a similar problem with
the missing crypt, although not related to tcl. Following is the exact &
only changes I had to make based on the earlier mail list discussion about
this problem. Should this not make it to the source tree to save others
from the same fate? It took a while just to chase the previous mailings. My
system is RedHat Linux 5.0, kernel 2.0.31.
$ diff Makefile.shlib.1 Makefile.shlib

> SHLIB_LINK := -lcrypt

< LDFLAGS_SL := -shared -soname $(shlib)

> LDFLAGS_SL := -Bdynamic -shared -soname $(shlib)
