You'll probably need to specify an absolute path. Are both the client
and server applications running on the same server? If so, you might
need to get your consultant to tell you where the client applications
for the 8.1.4 installation were actually installed. By default,
postgres installs both client and server applications into /usr/local/
pgsql, but at least one of your installations must be in a different
location; otherwise, you probably couldn't have two versions of the
postmaster running concurrently.
