[GRASSLIST:669] Re: configure with postgres on OS X

[David Orme]

Thanks for the help - I now, of course, have a follow up...

The postgres library is: /usr/local/psql/lib/pqsql.a

The config.log shows a problem with compiling a test file with gcc

> configure:8974: checking for location of PostgreSQL library
> configure:9003: checking for PQsetdbLogin in -lpq
> configure:9020: gcc -o conftest -g -O2    -L/usr/local/lib  conftest.c 
> -lpq   1>&5

There are four variants of the last line, all of which fail, using 
combinations of -lcrypto and -lssl.

My gcc version is:

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
David
