my first time through, I did not. I was wanting to keep things simple at
first to see if I get postgresql installed. When that went o.k.

I started over, and did use the --with-tcl option and --with-perl
then gmake all
and then gmake install


I read this in the pgaccess help files, and tried it, but still no luck

-----
PostgreSQL 6.4 release has a minor bug. I does not includ by default the
crypt lib when compiling libpgtcl. So, you will need to manually add a
-lcrypt
to SHLIB line in Makefile in src/interfaces/libpgtcl and then make clean
and make again. The new libpgtcl.so library is properly configured to run
pgaccess.
