Building From Source

If you installed postgres from source, you'll have a folder called "contrib". This is where the pgcrypto extension lives.

cd contrib/pgcrypto
make && make install

MacOs users only:

Make sure you are linking homebrew (follow my note for installing postgres from source), and if you have error about missing symbols, add the following at the end of the gcc command that is printed for make (at the top of the stdout):

gcc -Wall ... -lz -lssl -lcrypto

And then:

make install
