Thanks for all the responses. I realized early that the
dependency on libcrypt was there. This dependency exists with
a good portion of the software I compile on my system, so it's not
even unexpected. For me, there were two points of confusion:
- I couldn't figure out, based on the dates on the documentation
and the source code for the ACS- and AOL-provided Postgres drivers,
which driver I should be using. This is partly contributable
to my naivete about the "big picture" concerning ACS (it's getting
better by the hour). Partly, it's because the ACS-provided docs
sometimes look out of date. (For example, by presenting
everything as .ini files, when the latest AOLserver comes with
a nsd.tcl file.)
- I really did compile and install the ACS-provided driver and got
the same results. It was only an attempt to try it again after
a private message from Don Baccus that got me success. I still don't
know exactly what happened with my first attempt.
Anyway, thanks again for the help. I'm having fun already! :)
