Is there any chance you had a prior version of PostgreSQL installed in
/opt/psb/db/pgsql/ ?

If so, try building PostgreSQL with a new prefix (say
/opt/psb/db/pgsql84/ ).

You might also want to examine cyrillic_and_mic.so by listing its
symbols. HP-UX uses the "nm" command for this, so:

nm /opt/psb/db/pgsql/lib/cyrillic_and_mic.so

might be informative.
