share of *installed* system. if you compiled with --prefix=/usr/local,
then it would be /usr/local/share/postgresql/...

if you didn't compile it - it is not built.
simply:
cd contrib/pgcrypto
make
make install
and you should be fine.

i usually compile postgresql in this way:
cd postgre*
./configure --.... some options
make
make install
cd contrib
make
make install

in this way i have all contrib modules compiled.

of course - you dont need all (on the other hand - i strongly suggest
that you get some familiarity with it, as there are some real gems).
