I'm not familiar with using pgaccess (I don't run X so I'm guessing from the wish command it's an tk frontend to replace psql.)
However, I think your problem is that you need libcrypt.so loaded and wish does not have this included.  Unfortunately libcrypt causes
a warning error msg to be displayed when you load it.  I've used this load method for quite a while with irc eggdrop applications.  A
workaround I found was to do the following first:

catch {load libcrypt.so}

The catch keeps the warning message from causing a serious issue.

If anyone else has any better methods, I'd be interrested in hearing them.
