Forum OpenACS Q&A: Set up postgres's environment variables (postgres-8.0.6)

why my postgres path is diff from the guideline doc??

MY INSTALLATION STEPS
=============================================================
[root@localhost src]# su - postgres
-bash-2.05b$ env | grep PATH
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin
=============================================================

POSTGRES DOC GUIDELINE
=============================================================
[root src]# su - postgres
[postgres pgsql]$ env | grep PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/pgsql/lib
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:
/root/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin
==============================================================

Through my experience, i think that u might still work with the postgresql eventhough the PATH is still different,correct me if I'm wrong
