Re: [GENERAL] Postgres install problem

I think your missing the glibc crypt library, look for libcrypt.so.* in
your /lib dir.  If it's not there, you'll have to grab it from a Linux site
like ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux or from Caldera's website.

If you do have the file, try adding -lcrypt to the LIBS line of
Makefile.global in src/
