HP-UX 11.11 PostgreSQL 8.3.1 - psql core dumps - Unresolved symbol: tgetent
I've compiled PostgreSQL 8.3.1 using gcc 4.2.3 on HP-UX 11i v1, and all went
well. PostgreSQL works and everything, except for psql client:
$ ldd /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
=>
/usr/lib/libc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.2
/usr/lib/libdld.2 => /usr/lib/libdld.2
/usr/lib/libc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.2
/usr/lib/libm.2 => /usr/lib/libm.2
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.sl =>
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.sl
/usr/local/lib/libz.sl => /usr/local/lib/libz.sl
/usr/lib/libxnet.2 => /usr/lib/libxnet.2
/usr/lib/libxti.2 => /usr/lib/libxti.2
../../../src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.sl.5 =>
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.sl.5
$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql

As you can see, the older version of psql (7.4.2) works fine:
$ psql

If needed, I can attach a core dump.

tgetent is from curses/ncurses. When readline is built it either takes
a system version or a builtin one. Evidently it thinks there ought to
be a system version somewhere. In any case it looks like your readline
library uses curses but doesn't actually link to it, which is bad.
You can probably work around it by adding -lcurses to the psql link
line, but fixing readline would be better.
Have a nice day,

Kinda looks like your libreadline is broken.
As you can see, the older version of psql (7.4.2) works fine:
Maybe that was built without readline support?
