Hmmm.... Under the RPM installation, there is installed, by the build
script in the spec file, a shell script into /usr/bin called pgaccess --
this script is as follows:
-----------
#!/bin/sh

PATH_TO_WISH=/usr/bin/wish
PGACCESS_HOME=/usr/lib/pgsql/pgaccess

export PATH_TO_WISH
export PGACCESS_HOME

exec ${PATH_TO_WISH} ${PGACCESS_HOME}/main.tcl "$@"
----------

PGACCESS_HOME should, under the standard installation, be set to
something more inline with the standard installation's idea of where
pgaccess/main.tcl is located.

PATH_TO_WISH should likely be /usr/bin/wish on most systems.

The RPM packages have not relied upon the tarball's inclusion of
pgaccess -- rather, a separate tarball of just the latest pgaccess is
grafted in -- so there may be some other differences that I am not aware
of.
