For Linux you should differentiate on the used C library. RedHat 4.2
for example uses libc5. With glibc 2 [1] you have to include
<crypt.h> and add -lcrypt. glibc 2.x.y is used in AFAIK all current
Linux distributions (Suse 6.0 and newer, RedHat 5.0 and newer, Debian
2.0,...).
libc5 doesn't use -lcrypt and <crypt.h>.

Footnotes:
[1] glibc 2.1.x versions have the same behaviour.
