Exactly where is root's path finding pg_config?

IIRC, most of the paths shown here are actually computed relative to the
location of the pg_config executable, so I could imagine getting this
kind of result if you'd done something like symlinking pg_config into
/usr/bin.

I would've guessed that you were invoking a pg_config shipped with the
regular Red Hat postgres packages, except for this:

> CONFIGURE = '--disable-rpath' '--prefix=/usr/pgsql-9.3'
> '--includedir=/usr/pgsql-9.3/include' '--mandir=/
> usr/pgsql-9.3/share/man' '--datadir=/usr/pgsql-9.3/share' '--with-perl'

which seems to prove that the package was built with the correct
options for PGDG's file placement.
