Where did you get bash from?

If from the hpux porting & archice centre, did you notice the runtime dependencies for bash?

gettext libiconv and termcap

You need to download and install those too.

Yuo must also install dependencies.
That means you must also install: gettext, libiconv and termcap.
The links are:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gettext-0.16.1/

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/termcap-1.3.1/

First: why do you need bash when the posix shell has all the features you're after?

Second: if you insist on using bash, never, ever use it for root's shell or you risk ending up with an un-bootable system.

Third: did you install all the dependencies for bash?

Alternatively, if you are on 11iv2 (11.23) you could install bash from the hpux Internet Express free product here:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1123

This version will include all required dependencies.
