Depends on what platform you're using, most likely you just need to add 
"--with-ldflags=-lcrypt" to you configure line.

If that fixes it, tell us what your platform is and what ./config.guess 
reports and we can make configure do it automatically.

You might like to use 3.8.1p1 rather than 3.8p1, it's newer and 
(probably :-) has a few less bugs.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
