The problem is that you don't have a good path to the installed
libpq.sl. The HP executables created by the 6.3.2 release only have the
relative path that you see above; if you're not in a directory such
that that relative path finds libpq.sl, you lose.
Quickest workaround is to set SHLIB_PATH environment variable to
point to the installed lib directory. (You might also have to
tweak the executables to get them to pay attention to SHLIB_PATH;
see chatr(1) to find out how to check and change this setting.)
I submitted HPUX patches a week or two ago that include a real fix
for this, namely embedding the name of the installed lib directory
into the executables so that they work without needing SHLIB_PATH.
I dunno if these patches have gotten into the current snapshots,
but you can look in the pgsql-patches mail list archive for them.
BTW you also need to make sure libpq.sl has permissions 555.
