Another MacOS install attempt

From

I really have tried to resolve this issue googling and searching the
list...

I have successfully compiled and installed
wxWindows-pgAdmin3-20031010-7 and postgresql-7.4.2.  My configure error
looks like other posts I have seen but the resolutions I haven't been
able to match:

./configure --enable-static --enable-debug --with-pgsql=/usr/local
...
checking pgsql in /usr/local... failed
configure: error: you must specify a valid pgsql installation with
--with-pgsql=DIR

I have postgresql installed in /usr/local/pgsql.  I have tried creating
symbolic links to /usr/local for lib and include and bin from under
/usr/local/pgsql to no avail.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Panther 10.3.3

Well obviously you need to specify --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql

David,
please do not email privately use the list. I'm not too familiar with
configure internals either.
Maybe some other lib is missing. configure creates a small source, and
tries to compile/link it. If that fails, the pgsql path is considered
wrong. Sometimes, other reasons are causing this problem.

Andreas

Try looking in the config.log that configure generates to see if you can
tell why it's failing.  If you can't find, try posting your config.log
to the list and I will take a look at it.

I didn't see anything that gave me a clue... but here it is:

Thank you, Adam.

The error is here:

configure:4603: checking for PQexec in -lpq
configure:4634: gcc -o conftest -Wall -g -O0  -DSSL
-I/usr/local/include  -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lpq
/usr/local/lib/libpq.a -lcrypt  -lssl -lcrypto >&5
ld: can't locate file for: -lcrypt

I'm working on building pgAdmin3 on my Panther box right now, so I'll
post some patches to fix this in a bit.

I get this error during make all:

lssl -lcrypto -lpq
ld: Undefined symbols:

Should I wait for your patch?
