OK, you're building Pg from source rather than using packages provided
by EDB or your operating system. Fair enough, albeit somewhat unusual
for many production setups.

The most likely cause is that the dynamic linker is using a different
library than what Pg was compiled against for libssl, libpg, or
something like that.

You have neglected to mention the platform you're using or any of the
other important data, so it's hard to give any more detailed
instructions about how to track the issue down. It'd help if you
mentioned what OS you were using, whether you uninstalled/deleted any
prior versions of Pg, what your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is, what `ldd' reports
when run on psql, etc.

Most likely you have linkage problems, but if not it'd help if you'd get
a backtrace of that client crash. Assuming you're on a machine with gdb:

gdb --args ./psql -p 5445
(gdb) run
.... blah blah
.... terminated with SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault)
(gdb) bt

It's *EXTREMELY* likely to be an issue where you're linking to a
different libpq possibly compiled with different options, then.
