Completely delete postgresql from my machine and any trace of libpq and
libpgtcl
Untarred the 6.4 final distribution
apply the patch
compiled from scratch
installed

Got :

[teo(at)teo teo]$ Error in startup script: couldn't load file
"libpgtcl.so": /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so: undefined symbol: crypt
while executing
"load libpgtcl.so"
(procedure "main" line 3)
invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
(file "pgaccess.tcl" line 4813)

When modify the Makefile from libpgtcl adding -lcrypt , recompile,
install . Everything it's ok.
