If the problem was caused by that installer, you'll have to contact
them to fix their package. FYI, the Postgres packages for OS X
supported here can be found at:

That should be easy enough to override for just your user with an
entry in your ~/.bash_profile . If you want to fix the source of the
problem, you might have to dig around to figure out which PATH
declaration is screwy. You could start looking at /etc/launchd.conf,
/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile,
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, and so on.
