Hm, that should work.  What do you get from "ldd" on the psql executable?

If you aren't getting a core file from the segfault, try "ulimit -c unlimited".
Once you have a core file, do

    gdb /path/to/psql core
    gdb> bt
    gdb> quit

The trace will be a lot more informative if you first rebuild with
debugging support (configure --enable-debug, then gmake clean all install).
