   Miguel Fernandez <miguelfernandez@bridge.com.br> — 2000-06-03T21:57:03Z

       Hi , I've got a problem compiling the test program in the programmers guide.
       t frist how I do to link libpg.a in gcc and g++ ?
        
       Later I've got the screen :
   
       $bash: g++ test.C -o test.o -o test /usr/lib/libpg.a     // my libpg.a is in /usr/lib
        /usr/lib/libpq.a (fe-auth.o) : in function 'pg_password_sendauth' :
        fe_auth.o(.text+0x27):undefined reference to 'crypt'
        collect2 : ld reurned 1 exit status 
       $bash :
   
   Note : my computer runs a linux red hat Conectiva 3.0 installed with postgres 6.5.2.
   
   If someone can help-me I will be very gateful .

   you're missing an install of the crypt library, which seems kind of odd,
   since i thought that was a standard part
   
   look in /usr/lib
   
   you should have two files and one symbolic link:
   
    /usr/lib % dir libcry*
   -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        98012 Sep 20  1999 libcrypt.a
   lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           23 Sep 19  1998 libcrypt.so ->../../lib/libcrypt.so.1
   -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        98908 Sep 20  1999 libcrypt_p.a

   I believe that if you add a '-l' option to your compile command it will
   work:
   
   <To your presend command add>  -lcrypt

   Hi Hugh, it looks like -l must have worked. I use that when I need the
   math libs.
