You did not mention what operating system you are using, but I'll 
assume that it is a UNIX variant.

psql is looking for the "pager" application, which displays data one 
terminal page at a time.   Usually this program is /bin/more.  I 
believe that psql uses /bin/more by default, but an alternate 
application may be specified in the PAGER environment variable.
