   Did you tell configure to build the pgtcl library? 
   (Use the option --with-tcl)

   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.
