I just tried it here on Red Hat 8.0, and Postgres 7.4devel (but I don't
believe pgcrypto has changed since the 7.3 release) and it works fine.

In the Makefile, did you do:
   random = dev
or
   random = 'dev'

If I use the former, it works. The latter, however gives me the same
error you are getting.

HTH,
