You haven't installed all the run-time dependencies. Bash requires libiconv, gettext, & termcap.

Similarly, rsync requires gettext, libiconv, & popt.

Whatever you do, do not change root's shell to bash (of course, I would never install that world's greatest shell on any HP-UX box.)

Have a look at the "Run Time Dependencies" section on this page:
