If you don't need those, then you can get rid of the EXTRA_LIBS part (I think). Otherwise, you will need to make sure they are on your platform, and can be found.

Well, if Brett has a Mac OSX library, by all means use it.

As for the problems linking pgtclng, I think EXTRA_LIBS doesn't do anything
any more. The steps in the pgtclng manual for Mac OSX are from a while ago
when somebody sent them to me, but the build process changed when I
upgraded to a newer version of the TEA build system. Yet this is probably
not a Mac OSX-specific problem. I'm thinking that if your libpq was built
with SSL, then you have to include SSL and crypto libraries whenever
linking anything with libpq. So you need a way to add libraries, but
I've never tried it. A quick look makes me think LIBS= (rather than
EXTRA_LIBS=) will work, but this is something I need to look at.
