The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3000
Logged by:          laurent faillie

PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3
Operating system:   HP-UX 11.11
Description:        Linking problem
Details:

Hello,

Even if the compilation succeed, psql binary will core dump on HP-UX 11.11
if compiled with readline support.

To prevent this problem, termcap library has to be linked with this binary.

-ltermcap in $(LIBS) used line 34 of
postgresql-8.2.3/src/bin/psql/Makefile.

Best regards,

Laurent

That should happen automatically, and does on my HPUX machines.  You
need to look into why it's not happening on yours, if you want it fixed.
