It looks like the configure script is in error. What
header file is needed for crypt(3) in Mac OS X? Probably
just unistd.h. Try this patch:

diff -u -r1.47 configure.in
--- configure.in        28 Jun 2002 18:59:13 -0000      1.47

... that may solve your problem, though in fact it should
be trying to figure out where crypt is. (You'll have to
re-run ./bootstrap.) I hate autoconf....
