First, sorry for my incorrect english !

Check the /usr/lib and /usr/include directories. If DES is installed on
your system, the libdescrypt.a, libdescrypt_p.a, libdescrypt.so.2.0
libraries and des.h header file must be installed.

You can also try : man des_crypt to see if the DES man pages are
installed.

Finally, you can try the bdes binary program.
